What race painted the magnify caves in South of France and North of Spain 15 or 20 thousand years ago? I am from Basque Country, my country occupies just these territories, and in addition it's supposed that the Basques are descendants of cro-magnons from this zone. Nevertheless I do not see in my prosaic country this artistic and religious-spiritual vein or impulse. I suspect they had to be other people and another race. In addition I have read that cro-magnons of that time in the zone was very high of stature, more than the present French and Spaniards (Basque including). And in a Nordic supremacist book in Internet, they say that the Nordic race is the true European native race and that alpine and the mediterranean ones arrived later. Then, would the Nordics be the first inhabitants of Spain and France who painted those caves, and later were raising towards the north with the crease of the glaciation?

According to the newer DNA researches, there is no big difference between the population of Europe of NOW and that of the past. Nordics are a much newer occurence than Nordicists would like you to think. Nordics are a hybrid of various European phenotypes, not an imaginary 'pure breed'. In any case, the paintings in Lascaux and Altamira weren't done by entire groups of people, they were done by some artistic guys from the stone age. When you read in books someone that says ( for example ) CELTIC ART, or ROMAN ARCHITECTURE etc. that doesn't mean that ALL Celts made that art, or that ALL Romans were architects. Apply the same thing to cave-paintings. Scientists and historians don't know who made these paintings, but it was the genius of some one, not some entire group. In addition, one can pretty much safely bet that the DNA of the people who were settled in those regions is today a part of the ancestry of the people who live in those regions. Modern science believes that the Cro-Magnids were similar to modern men, but having just arrived from Africa, they were surely not blonde
