A new book by the anthropologist Brian Fagan called "Cro-Magnon, How the Ice Age Gave Birth to the First Modern Humans," writes at length about the Dordogne. He does say that Cro-Magnon "were the first anatomically modern Europeans, with fully modern brains and linguistic abilities, a penchant for innovation, and all the impressive cognitive skills of Homo sapiens." Fagan's book strongly makes the point that Cro-Magnon did not "bridge an evolutionary gap" but were in fact exactly like us. But they didn't play golf! Great story. This is a wonderful piece, Brian.
