About the Book

Bestselling author Brian Fagan brings early humans out of the deep freeze with his trademark mix of erudition, cutting-edge science, and vivid storytelling. Cro-Magnon reveals human society in its infancy, facing enormous environmental challenges--including a rival species of humans, the Neanderthals. For ten millennia, Cro-Magnons lived side by side with Neanderthals, an encounter that Fagan fills with drama. Using their superior intellects and tools, these ingenious problem solvers survived harsh conditions that eventually extinguished their Neanderthal cousins. Cro-Magnon captures the indomitable adaptability that has made Homo sapiens an unmatched success as a species. Living on a frozen continent with only the most basic tools, Ice Age humans survived and thrived.

Review :
"Archaeology contributing editor Brian Fagan provides readers with intimate accounts of what he imagines Ice Age life was like for both the vanishing Neanderthals and the invading Homo sapiens who developed the basis of modern culture. He lauds the 'endless ingenuity and adaptability' of ordinary men and women living in bitterly cold Paleolithic Europe. 'My DNA tells me that, genetically, I'm one of them, ' Fagan concludes, 'and I'm proud of it.'" -- "Archaeology (editors' pick)" "[A] fascinating account...Fagan's narratives of cave-painting and hunting--among other anecdotes--really bring this history-laden book to life." -- "Green Life" "Fagan provides readers with a fascinating discussion of the lifestyle of Neanderthals and early modern humans...In bringing these ancient human societies to life, Fagan combines an engaging narrative style with a well-written and easily understood scholarly discussion...an excellent resource." -- "National Speleological Society newsletter" "Highly entertaining and instructive...[Fagan] does an admirable job in bringing vividly to life the Europe of between eighty and ten thousand years ago...Fagan's book has been overtaken by the onward progress of his science--this happens to lots of such books--and there are aspects of his case that invite debate. But it is an admirable book nevertheless; the reimagining of the past is entertainingly done, and a great deal of science, especially climate science, is accessibly introduced on the way." -- "Barnes & Noble, editorial review" "James Langton...fits easily into the persona Fagan has defined, creating a narrative perspective that is attentive, observant, factual, open to speculation, and never dogmatic in tone. Langton's perfectly articulated rendering keeps the narrative line clear." -- "AudioFile"
