THE POSSIBLE CRO-MAGNON HYBRID CONNECTION By Joe Fitzgerald

Folks we have another wonderful article put together by Joe Fitzgerald. So happy to have him as a contributor to this blog. I hope you all enjoy his work as much as I do. 



THE POSSIBLE CRO-MAGNON HYBRID CONNECTION

Cro-Magnon is largely seen as an outdated word meaning early Homo sapiens sapiens, from around 10,000 to 35,000 years ago. The first of these were Found at the Cro-Magnon rockshelter in the Dordogne Valley in France and are considered indistinguishable from modern humans. The Cro-Magnon rockshelter was discovered in the 1860s, in a rock shelter in a cliff overlooking the Vezere River in Les Eyzies. Here; five skeletons were found buried in a cave and have since been radiocarbon dated to 22,000 years ago. Though considered early versions of us, there are curious accounts of very large sized versions of these remains being found;

"14 Gigantic Cro-Magnon Skeletons Unearthed in France;
Geraldton Guardian and Express, April 28, 1930 Fourteen immense slate coffins dating back to prehistoric times have been unearthed here by men working on a new road, says the correspondent of the London "Daily Mail," in Grenable (Southern France). The coffins were found at a depth of 12 feet and when opened with great care the skeletons of 14 men of gigantic stature were revealed. In each case the heads were of great size with huge jawbones."

Shortly we'll look at an assessment regarding the Cro-Magnon by Fritz Zimmerman, the author of the book called The Nephilim Chronicles. Within this book are over 300 historical accounts of giant human skeletons amongst other things such as burial mound types, symbolism, etymology, numerology and ceremonial centers that are compared in the Biblical Levant, the British Isles and the Ohio Valley with incredible similarities. Let's look at a quote from him regarding the Cro-Magnon;

"The last remnants of the Neanderthals are pushed to the northern latitudes of the Boreal Forests of Europe and Asia. Close behind them are the Cro-Magnon who were known for their great height. The result was a hybrid race of tall people bearing the "archaic" traits of the Neanderthal of a sloping forehead, protruding brow ridge, thick skull walls and massive jaws. They were "Hunters and Fishers" who ventured far our to sea, and whose gigantic remains can be found across the northern latitudes."

With Zimmerman basing his assessment on the many archaeological studies conducted on the mounds of Ohio, it is increasingly apparent that we have more conflicting opinion regarding the size range of these early Homo sapiens. What I find interesting however, are schools of thought that suggest that modern forms of agriculture may have rendered an offshoot to this early home sapien to drop in size to what we have today as a widely recognized height average for Homo sapiens;

"Cro-Magnon men were about the same height as modern men," said Professor Henneberg. But the subsequent Ice Age dealt a blow to the anatomy. "Big game became scarcer and many populations switched to agriculture in which food supply was limited, while great body strength was not necessarily at a premium any more... agriculture is bad-quality food and that causes the shrinkage in stature."

Could an inaccurate modern perception of the average height of the Cro-Magnon and a preference of the Cro-Magnon to not comply with agriculture, be a factor in that the Neanderthal (the Neanderthal being physically equipped to Ice Age Europe anyway) and Cro-Magnon hybrid tribes developed a desire to recluse to maintain preferred methods of survival? Interesting is the fact that we see a correlation between the suggestion of these hybrid types and skeletal remains uncovered in North America. 

"The mental foramen (literally "mind's little hole") is an anatomical trait very pronounced in Neanderthals, a small dimple in the lower jaw of the skull beneath the teeth, or mandible. It is found sporadically in humans, where it is classified as archaic. Among the places where it has been identified are the Oleniy Islands and Baltic region, Northwestern Russia in Cro-Magnon like Europoid and Mongoloid types, along with "large and massive" torus occipital or Anatolian bumps (Alexander Mongait, 1959; Marija Gimbutas, 1956); Bakhehisarai in the Crimea (Alexander Mongait, 1959); the Joman or Ainu of Japan (Carleton Stevens Coon, 1962); and the "race of giants" continually being unearthed in West Coast, Ohio Valley and New England archaeological sites, caves and mounds."

Now we know that the Neanderthal were capable of language and specifically, culture; this outlining their level of intelligence. Primitive flutes have been found in burial sites which could not entail more evidence of culture. Curious are the links between native legends that shared burial mounds with the 'giant tribes' (Cherokee for example) and the documentation of stone tools located in early excavations of such would maintain the level of culture befitting any suggestion of the sort. There are consistent reports of very tall average height Cro-Magnon type skeletons right down to the South-Western areas of the US;

"A skull found on Catalina Island that was from a skeleton that measured over 7 feet in height. The skull type is Upper Paleolithic Cro-Magnon. The Cro-Magnon species that were generally robust and large sized. It is also the Cro-Magnon species that made up the Maritime Archaic (7000 B.C. - 2000 B.C). Maritime Archaic cultural remains have been found the extent of the world, generally in the Northern latitudes (photograph provided in link below). Cro-Magnon skull from Obercassel Germany is very similar to the skull found on Catalina Island that is more evidence that the large skulls found on California's Channel Islands originated with the Maritime Archaic Cro-Magnons."

With archaeological studies that have uncovered the same traits of skeletal remains across Europe and America, that are consistent with what are considered to be Neanderthal morphological features, in conjunction with the possible height ranges suggested of the Cro-Magnon, with the hybridization of both to have a robust physical stature and climate efficient... We have something extremely interesting to think about when considering the possible origins of what many today theorise are relict hominids in the US.
