Neanderthal

surrounding the Neanderthal extinction takes on assorted factors that are not mutually exclusive. Numerous studies have been conducted focusing exclusively on climate, competition or disease as a function of Neanderthal extinction. However, conflicting conclusion suggest that there are several factors involved that overlap and/ or arising from one another. This paper will attempt to better understand how climate, competition, and disease might operate together to account for Neanderthal extinction. First

Decoding Neanderthals is an analysis of the Neanderthal genome shows that modern humans and Neanderthals had interbred some 60,000 years ago. It all started with our ancestors making their way from Africa to Europe. The ones who were in Africa evolved into humans and the ones who went to Europe developed into Neanderthals. They were also known as “Cavemen”. People saw them as some type of weird specie but the more you learn about them the more you start to realize that they are a lot like us humans

Neanderthals, mankind’s assumed ancestral brute for the ages, were the pinnacle of scientific discovery since many of their redeeming qualities were highly underestimated. Originally classified in the species Homo as Homo neandethalensis after the first specimen was found in the Neanderthal Valley in Germany. Neanderthals roamed the lands of Western Europe from 250,000 years ago to about the time H. sapiens came of the scene in 39,000 years ago. When the word Neanderthal first comes to mind, it 's

relationship between modern humans and Neanderthals has been argued for a long time. There are two main different ideas that explain the origin of modern humans, the Out of Africa theory and the Multiregional evolution theory. The first theory has been largely accepted by the scientist community, however, the issue is not a simple one, and a final theory has not been postulated yet. Different disciplines have provided evidences to reconstruct the Neanderthals history. In particular a great improvement

When trying to determine why Neanderthals cease to exist after modern humans arrived in Europe, many researchers hypothesis that either climactic changes or competition with modern humans was the cause. Some research indicates that Neanderthals were unable to cope with the sheer number of modern humans on the landscape. For others it was the arid climate causing a loss to their habitation. Still some researchers ascertain that Neanderthals never truly left the landscape due to interbreeding between

NEANDERTHALS TO HOMOSAPIENS Neanderthal the most recent archaic human, who was introduced to this world between 300,00 and 100,000 years ago then after many years were replaced by humans between 35,000 and 24,000 years ago. Neanderthals inhabited Eurasia from the Atlantic regions of Europe eastward to Central Asia and from as far north as present-day Belgium southward to the Mediterranean and southwest Asia.” (www.britannica.com). Human populations that were very similar to Neanderthals lived in

the early Neanderthals migrated northwards almost 800,000 years ago. These migrants colonized much of the Old World with the majority based in Europe and small groups scattered throughout the Middle East and Asia. Historically, the Neanderthals were among the most resiliant creatures to exist on Earth. As a population, they thrived during the European ice age 40,000 years ago. This ice age enveloped the majority of Northern and Central Europe and due to their physique were the Neanderthals were able

To get a sense of what it is to be human, at least in the evolutionary world, we need only to compare our modern selves to our ancestors such as the Neanderthals. The Neanderthals were our closest hominin relative and died out thousands of years ago. Like us, they walked on two legs, hunted , made fire and tools, and lived in shelters (caves). They were more advanced than many of us imagine they were thanks to the way they are portrayed in the media. They had brains similar in size to ours, they

differences between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens make it difficult for researchers and scientists to agree that they are a part of the same species. Although some of the differences are minor, the evidence that has been found in fossils, and genetic testing still shows more of a distinction between them. There is evidence that early Homo sapiens and Neanderthals coexisted for thousands of years before all Neanderthals became extinct. The relationship between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens is not

Disappearance of the Neanderthal When modern humans walked the earth 65,00 years ago, they were not the only ones who walked on two legs, had opposable thumbs and used tools. The Neanderthals, who we shared 99.5% the same DNA with also roamed the earth with modern humans, but mysteriously vanished between 45 to 28 million years ago. There are a lot of theories as to what could have caused the Neanderthal population to go extinct. But the most plausible reasons for Neanderthals extinction is due to
