Most recent man found as fossil was

Most recent man found fossil was Cromagnon man. It lived during the upper Paleolithic period (40,000 to 10,000 years ago) in Europe. The fossils were discovered in 1868 in a shallow cave at Cro-Magnon near the town of Les Eyzies-de-Tayac in the Dordogne region of southwestern France. They were robustly built and powerful and are presumed to have been about 166 to 171 cm. The body was generally heavy and solid, apparently with strong musculature. The forehead was straight, with slight brow ridges, and the face short and wide. Cro-Magnons were the first humans to have a prominent chin. The brain capacity was about 1,600 cc.
