Cro-Magons disappeared very quickly. There is only one reason for

that; paleoanthropological discoveries have shown that the Cro-Magnon
and Neanderthal races combined with one another to form the basis of to-
day's races.
Randall White is Professor of Anthropology at New York University:
Cro-Magnon artifacts have a right to stand alongside those of the entire
history of mankind. From a 20th century perspective the extraordinary
thing about the existence of Cro-Magnons is that they underwent no di-
rect, gradual evolution from the crude and unformed to selectivity and
perfection. The history of art begins 35,000 years ago. 326

James Shreeve is a science journalist in magazines like Science,
National Geographic and Smithsonian:
New dating methods have revealed that fossils thought to be 40,000
years old are actually 100,000 years old. Now, if Cro-Magnons are older
than the Neanderthals who lived 60,000 years ago, how can they be de-
scended from them?

Dorothy Great from Britain discovered both Neanderthal and Cro-
Magnon remains in the Stark Hills behind Tel Aviv. Assumed that they
were compatible with the previously estimated chronology, the
Neanderthals were concluded to be around 60,000 years old, and the Cro-
Magnons around 40,000. Some researchers were unconvinced. They be-
lieved that the stratification in the caves had been damaged by water cur-
rents and determined a new date using another dating method.
Eventually it was concluded that present-day humans appeared in

the land of Israel before the Neanderthals. The new dating provoked con-
siderable surprise, because it stated that modern-looking fossils were ac-
tually 100,000 years old. The Neanderthals, on the other hand, were
60,000 years old. On the basis of this evidence, Cro-Magnons cannot have
evolved from the Neanderthals.
There are many scenarios concerning the extinction of species... These are
full of assumptions. There is no evidence of any wars or violent conflict in
these valleys. All there is, is a strange disappearance, and isolated fossils. 327
