Explanation

Cro-Magnon man emerged about 34000 years ago. Thus it is regarded as most recent ancestor of today's man. It has, therefore, been called as Homo sapiens fossils. the Cro-Margon man was like us, about 1.8 meters tall, well -built body. its face was perfectly orthognathous with a narrow elevated nose, broad and arched forehead, moderate brow-ridge, strong jaws with man-like dentition and a well developed chin. its cranial capacity was, however somewhat more than ours, being about 1650 cc (ours is 1400 cc). the cro-Magnon man was the direct ancestor of the living man.
