The fossilized remains of Homo neanderthalensis and his artifacts were discovered on the France/Spain peninsula in 1887, though the same species had been discovered earlier in Germany in 1856. Modern anthropologists still disagree on whether the Neanderthal man should be classified as a true human, but there are some attributes of the race well accepted as fact so far: the Neanderthal had a cranial capacity slightly larger than our own, a hyoid bone in the neck (like us, and useful for controlling vocal cords,) and a propensity to ritually bury their dead. At first glance, people.

France, 'formerly' ancient Gaul, became The West Frankish Kingdom in 843 A.D. as a result of the Treaty of Verdun, the politico-religious resolution of a squabble between the descendants of Charlemagne (Charles the first.) The rest, as they say, is history.

France has been France for a long time, and certainly a formidable world power, highly desirable as an ally, since at least the middle 12th century. She remains so today, even if a single "first" discoverer may never be named.

Our best guess on the extinct Neanderthal man, French or not, is that he flourished from 180,000 to about 38 or 40 thousand years ago.

Homo Neanderthalensis was living in Europe from about 250,000 BC and until at least 30,000 BC. A skeleton dated about 60,000 BC has been uncovered in La Chapelle-aux-Saints, south western France.

Homo Sapiens (the modern man) is though to have arrived in Europe sometime between 43,000 BC and 12,000 BC. Remains of Homo Sapiens have been discovered in the 1860s at Cro-Magnon, nowadays South western France.

Historians generally agree that France as a nation started in 843 when the empire of Charles the Great was parted. The existing population was already large at the time and there is no way of deciding why there would be a "first" French.

The first people to inhabit France were the Gauls. The Romans invaded in 51 B.C. and occupied France.
