Model of a Cro-Magnon man doing a cave painting
Cave painting. Model of a Cro-Magnon man, a type of early modern human (Homo sapiens sapiens), doing a cave painting. It is thought that animals were painted onto the walls of the caves in which Cro-Magnons lived to give their hunters power over animals, ensuring a successful hunt. Cave paintings first appeared in Europe around 35, 000 years ago. Cro-Magnons lived in Europe, northern Africa and southern Asia from 50, 000 years ago. Cro-Magnons are so-called due to discoveries made in a rock shelter of that name in France. This model, from a Nordstar exhibition, was photograph- ed at the Naturkundemuseum in Stuttgart, Germany

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a model of a Cro-Magnon man engrossed in the ancient art of cave painting. The Cro-Magnons, an early modern human species known as Homo sapiens sapiens, inhabited Europe, northern Africa, and southern Asia around 50,000 years ago. It is believed that these skilled hunters adorned the walls of their caves with depictions of animals to gain power over them and ensure successful hunts. Cave paintings emerged approximately 35,000 years ago in Europe and have since fascinated anthropologists and paleontologists alike. This particular model was captured at the Naturkundemuseum in Stuttgart, Germany during a Nordstar exhibition. The term "Cro-Magnon" originated from archaeological findings at a rock shelter bearing the same name in France. These remarkable individuals left behind an invaluable legacy through their cognitive archaeology practices such as cave painting. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back thousands of years to witness the artistic prowess and cultural significance held by our ancestors. The intricate details on display remind us of humanity's enduring curiosity about its origins and our innate desire for self-expression through art. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with a glimpse into our past through this thought-provoking image that beautifully encapsulates the essence of Paleolithic life: creativity intertwined with survival instincts.
