GET LEARNED; THE NAME "CRO-MAGNON" WAS CREATED BY LOUIS LARTET, WHO DISCOVERED THE FIRST CRO-MAGNON SKULL IN SOUTHWESTERN FRANCE IN 1868. HE CALLED THE PLACE WHERE HE FOUND THE SKULL ABRI DE CRO-MAGNON. ABRI MEANS "ROCK SHELTER" IN FRENCH; CRO MEANS "HOLE" IN THE OCCITAN LANGUAGE; AND "MAGNON" WAS THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHO OWNED THE LAND WHERE LARTET FOUND THE SKULL. BASICALLY, CRO-MAGNON MEANS "ROCK SHELTER IN A HOLE ON MAGNON'S LAND."
