Cro-Magnon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The original "Old man of Crô-Magnon", Musée de l'Homme, ParisThe Cro-Magnon (pronounced /kroÊËmæɡnÉn/, French [kÊomaɲÉÌ]) were the first early modern humans (early Homo sapiens sapiens) of the European Upper Paleolithic in Europe.
The earliest known remains of Cro-Magnon-like humans are radiometrically dated to 35,000 years before present.
The Neandertal EnigmaFrayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

That’s Europe. No Cro-Magnons in Africa or Asia.
