Homo erectus was also the first pre human to learn how to control and cook with fire and that it could be used for warmth and as a defense.

             CRO-MAGNON.

             Cro-Magnon's skeletons were first found in 1868 in Southern France in the Cro-Magnon Cave. Like the Neanderthals the Cro-Magnons seem to have lived around 100,000 years ago. The Cro-Magnons, what humans descended from, were the main type of human being during their time. The Cro-Magnons along with other Homo Sapiens soon inhabited Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. Late in the Ice Age, 30,000 years ago, they increased in numbers. They soon invented different tools that were far finer than the tools of the Neanderthals. The Cro-Magnons carved animals from horn and bones, made statues of clay and they also carved and painted on the walls of their caves. It is believed that the art on the walls of the caves are somehow related to their religion. Evidence also suggests that the Cro-Magnons were the first to create any musical instruments. The Cro-Magnons had a very advanced culture compared to any of the other pre humans. When the skeletons were found in France the anthropologists could barely tell the difference between them and skeletons of human beings. It is said that Cro-Magnons soon dominated the world and that human beings also evolved from the Cro-Magnons.

             NEANDERTHALS.

             Neanderthals inhabited Europe and parts of both Africa and Asia around 100,000 years ago. Neanderthal people were considered Homo Sapiens but they had a different appearance. Neanderthals were a little taller than 5 feet, with a sloping forehead, and prominent brows. This species of man had a slightly larger brain capacity than that of humans now. Even though the capacity was larger in their brains, compared to us they weren't as bright, they were considered to be dimwitted and also their posture was more of a slouching like the whole stereotype of "cave men".
