I was just visiting again in the cro magnon area.

I could see they were not the savages that have always been dipicted. they had nice caves with southern exposure and huge river (fish) at their feet and endless wood to burn.

I am even reminded a bit of the Hopi indian .

That area is 180 miles from me , while europe's oldest man is less then a hundred.
