From what I remember, Cro-Magnon (aka "Homo Sapiens Sapiens") were pretty intelligent. They had art (like sculptures, paintings and music), spirituality (they buried deads and probably had idols and divinities), and technology (weapons to hunt and to fish).
They sort of replaced the old "Neanderthal" man which was far more an animal than a man and, however, there's proof that he was not our direct progenitor, as he was of a different human species which ended up when Cro-Magnon took over the human world with their wit.
Of course, Neanderthal would be suited for an action game, but for an adventure... I guess Cro Magnon is the right choice!
