In March 1868, the geologist Louis Lartet, financed by Henry Christy, discovered the first five skeletons of Cro-Magnons, the earliest known examples of Homo sapiens sapiens, in the Cro-Magnon rock shelter at Les Eyzies-de-Tayac. These skeletons included a fetus, and the skulls found were remarkably modern looking and much rounder than the earlier Neanderthal.
The Dordogne is split into four areas: the Périgord Vert (green), the Périgord Blanc (white), the Périgord Pourpre (purple), and the Périgord Noir (black). Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil lies in the Périgord Noir area.
