Cro-Magnon 1 consists of a relatively complete cranium and associated mandible belonging to an adult male and dating to approximately 32-30 Ka. The skeleton displays classic modern human characteristics, such as a high, vertical forehead, large cranial capacity (~1,600 cc); and the presence of a chin^1,3. The lack of teeth in combination with reabsoption of the mandible indicate that the individual was probably of advanced age. Pitting seen on the cranium results from a fungal infection².
