About 35,000 years ago Cro-Magnons, a type of Homo sapien, appeared in Europe. These people made even better tools and weapons than the Neanderthal people. They were well equipped to survive with weapons like their spear-throwers that made them effective hunters. Scientists know something about Cro-magnons from their artwork. paintings of the animals they hunted have been found. On cave walls in Spain and Southern France, bulls toss their heads. Wounded bison chase a hunter. Long horses leap majestically. The Cro-Magnons lived on Earth for many thousands of years. By about 10,000 years ago they became extinct, or no longer where distinct types of Homo sapiens.
