Hint: The fossil of Cro-Magnon Man was discovered from Cro-Magnon rocks in the year 1868, by Mac Gregor. The Cro-Magnon Man emerged about 34,000 years ago in the Holocene period. Modern humans belong to this species.

Complete answer:
Cro-Magnon Man was found from Cro-Magnon rocks, Les Eyzies, Dordogne, France. The brain capacity was about 1,600 cc, slightly larger than the average for modern humans. Cro-Magnons were strongly built and powerful with a height of about 166 to 171 cm (about 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 7 inches) tall. Their body was heavy and muscular. Cro-Magnon Man followed the Aurignacian culture. Cro-Magnon man differed significantly from the Neanderthals (Neanderthal man), who disappeared about 10,000 years ago but was anatomically identical to modern humans,
The sudden appearance of the modern Homo sapiens (who had arisen earlier in Africa), the associated upper Paleolithic technologies, and no record of transitional anatomical forms form Neanderthal man to modern humans have led many researchers to think that Neanderthals were driven to extinction through competition with Cro-Magnon Man. The finely crafted stone and bone tools, shell and ivory jewelry, and polychrome paintings that were found on cave walls give poof towards the cultural advancement of Cro-Magnon man.
So, the correct answer is ‘France’.

Note: -From the findings of paleontology, anthropology, and genetics, the understanding of human origins can be understood which involves the process of natural selection. The Homo sapiens share clear anatomical, genetic, and historic relationships with other primates particularly towards members of a group known as hominoids, or apes.
-The immediate ancestors of humans, called hominins, are notable for their bipedal locomotion, slow rate of maturation, large brain size, capacity for language, complex social activity, sophisticated tool use, and manufacture.
