# Talk:Cro-Magnon


### Follow-through
The article needs some work to follow through on that move. The only mention of Cro-Magnon is in the title. Add a section on terminology? --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 11:38, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

it is thought that aborigines and papuens diverged from other humans 58,000 years ago... This article's text 37,000 years as being the end of the first wave of humans. Crew Magnum is a relic early science which is not used in english anthropology any more. that should be mentioned Lifeinthetrees (talk) 05:02, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Indeed, this must be mentioned in the opening.  I would do it is i could find a valid scientific reference for the depreciation of the term. Sperxios (talk) 08:25, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Was curious about cromagnum man and some ended up with what seemed a preoccupation of sexuality and the assumed roles. What I couldn’t help but notice especially in the sense of hiarchy hunter gatherer was that the female would have been almost continuously pregnant and limited during a good deal of the time and also put at greater risk. It seemed this topic had a preoccupation with references from feminist. Not that are differences were mutually beneficial, instead there seemed to be a lot of effort to as they say. say it ain’t so. 2600:1700:14B0:9A60:F109:B46D:35D1:3DA8 (talk) 06:00, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello and thanks, but your not being very specific in either intent or reason. Is this a request; do you have sources / areas of research you think should be emphasised? Ceoil (talk) 06:46, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

"The earliest Cro-Magnon specimens also exhibit some features that are reminiscent of those found in Neanderthals. The first Cro-Magnons would have had darker skin tones than most modern Europeans; natural selection for lighter skin would not have begun until 30,000 years ago." What is the source for this claim? Also, the paragraph this is from and the next two paragraphs have no sources cited for anything in those three paragraphs. 76.202.192.102 (talk) 20:10, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Sorry if I missed it but I wasn't able to find anything about the origin for usage of the term 'Cro-Magnon'. It appears that it might have been the name of a place in France. But even after checking Cro-Magnon rock shelter, it just describes itself as a "site" where Cro-Magnon men, the topic of this article, were found. But I want to know, was the term 'Cro-Magnon' already used in France to refer to the place where, later in human history, discoveries were made? Like was the cave in the Cro-Magnon river valley or on Mount Cro-Magnon or something? Or, was the term 'Cro-Magnon' coined by someone at the time of the discovery? Thanks!

it's in the Cro-Magnon rock shelter section, "The site is called Abri de Cro-Magnon (Cro-Magnon rock shelter), now recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Abri means 'rock shelter' in French, cro means 'hole' in Occitan, and Magnon was the landowner" Dunkleosteus77 (talk) 18:49, 26 July 2025 (UTC)
