Trenton Holliday is unquestionably one of the foremost experts on this subject. -- John Shea, Stony Brook University, and author of <i>The Unstoppable Human Species</i> Most every school child has heard of the Cro-Magnon, but few people actually know anything about them. This engaging and accessible book by Trenton Holliday may go a long way towards remedying that situation! Written by one of the foremost experts on the Ice Age peoples of the world, Cro-Magnon brings to life – in clear, nontechnical English – what we know about these ancient Europeans, their fascinating history of study, and the very latest research on them. -- Steven Churchill, Duke University In Cro-Magnon, Trent Holliday gifts us a vivid, impressively detailed portrait of the earliest modern Europeans. He deftly weaves studies of biological characteristics, behavioral indicators, environment, history, and colorful descriptions of places and people into a fascinating narrative that brings alive these humans of the distant past. Holliday’s book is thorough, yet eminently readable, and is certainly required reading for anyone interested in the later phases of human evolution. -- Fred H. Smith, University Professor Emeritus of Anthropology and Biological Sciences, Illinois State University
