Cro-Magnon is an informal word once used to refer to people who lived alongside Neanderthals toward the end of the last ice age (around 35,000-10,000 years ago). The name came about because in 1868 parts of five skeletons were found in a cave by that name located in the Dordogne Valley of France.

Recently it has been considered that the physical dimensions of 'Cro-Magnon' are not sufficiently different enough from modern humans to warrant a separate designation. Essentially, we're a bunch of Cro-Magnons.

The differences between these early modern humans and us are slight and may be attributed to a different life style (hunting and gathering verses TV watching and video game playing). Some, though, insist there is a physical difference that indicates the Cro-Magnons are a really different people from us.

There is not enough bones to look at. There is not, at present (and maybe never) enough of a sample size to settle the argument.

How did the first woman conceive a baby on earth scientifically?

According to evolution, the first woman was descended from a common ancestor with apes. By person, you probably mean Homo Sapien. Homo Sapien's ancestors are Homo Erectus. Because the differences between the first female Homo Sapien, and her cousins, Homo Erectus were so slight, she would have mated with them, and produced Homo Sapien babies.
