Chapter 23.5, Problem 5CYP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The relationship between Neanderthals, Cro-magnons, and Homosapiens.
Introduction:
The Cro-magnons were tall about five to seven feet with straight limbs. The fossils of these were present in Cro-magnon at the rock shelter site. The neanderthals consist of large nose, chest and short limbs. The neanderthals become extinct and are closely related to humans. Homo sapiens consist of a short trunk with long limbs. The humans living today are the modern Homo sapiens with the height of about 160-175 centimeters
