Here's the scoop from the reliable atheists at Wikipedia:

Cro-Magnon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The original "Old man of Crô-Magnon", Musée de l'Homme, ParisThe Cro-Magnon (pronounced /kroʊˈmæɡnən/, French [kʁomaɲɔ̃]) 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.

Neandertal characteristics were fully emerged by 350,000 years ago, but had begun to 600,000 years ago, in Europe.
The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve

in local libraries
Frayer'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.
