You're standing at the Cro-Magnon rock shelter in Les Eyzies, in the Dordogne in southwestern France. A rock shelter is a spot where the cliff forms a protective overhang. Take a look at the rock face and picture this: around twenty-eight thousand years ago, people lived here and buried their dead. People who, anatomically, were just like us.
