Why Don't We Call Them 'Cro-Magnon' Anymore? 'Cro-Magnon' Versus 'Anatomically WISE WISE Sapiens Sapiens Humans.
By K.Kris Hirst. Updated on November 14, 2019. What Are Cro-Magnons?
"Cro-Magnon" is the name scientists once used to refer to what are now called Early Modern Humans or Anatomically Modern Humans—people who lived in our world at the end of the last ice age (ca. 40,000–10,000 years ago); they lived alongside Neanderthals for about 10,000 of those years. They were given the name "Cro-Magnon" because, in 1868, parts of five skeletons were discovered in a rock shelter of that name, located in the famous Dordogne Valley of France.
In the 19th century, scientists compared these skeletons to Neanderthal skeletons that had been found earlier in similarly dated sites like Paviland, Wales and a little later at Combe Capelle and Laugerie-Basse in France. They decided that the findings were different enough from the Neanderthals—and from us—to give them a different name.
Why Don't We Still Call Them Cro-Magnon?
A century and a half of research since then has led scholars to change their minds. The new belief is that the physical dimensions of the so-called "Cro-Magnon" are not sufficiently different enough from modern humans to warrant a separate designation. Instead, scientists today use "Anatomically Modern Human" (AMH) or "Early Modern Human" (EMH) to designate the Upper Paleolithic human beings who looked a lot like us but did not have the complete suite of modern human.
