content: Red/brown plaster cast cranium of Cro-Magnon 1, also known as "Cro-Magnon Man," from the species Homo sapiens. Cro-Magnon 1 is a middle-aged, male skeleton of one of the four adults found in the cave at Cro-Magnon. Scientists estimate his age at death at less than 50 years old. Except for the teeth, his skull is complete, though some of the bones in his face are noticeably pitted from a fungal infection. The cranium is mostly complete; however, areas in black indicate missing pieces. Cro-Magnon 1 is about 30,000 years old.
