Rather the big-brained Cro-Magnons than the Neanderthals. In the German press they said that there is a high probability that it were Cro-Magnons.
The Vogelherd-cave is not too far from the place I grew up. We have lots of caves on the Swabian Alb and interesting artefacts can be found inside. I.e. the remains of cave bears (that were remarkably bigger than Kodiak-bears i.e.).

I own the tusks of a cave bear that we found during earthmoving works. :)

Based on the number of mammoth stories on Google News, it looks like it merits its own ping list.

Pick a darm topic at random, and one time out of a hundred it will be about mammoths.

Amazing early modern humans could hunt something so big and powerful with out guns. I wonder how many cro-mags these bastards took with them?
