create jewelry, but according to the author Neanderthals were also the first to have a "particular level of abstract thinking" meaning Neanderthals may have been a lot smart than people credit them to be. For many years researcher had never gathered any information to lead then to think Neanderthals had any intelligence until the findings if their jewelry, the researchers also stated "These talons provide multiple new lines of evidence for Neanderthals abilities and cultural sophistication, they

Homo neandertalensis, commonly known as Neanderthals were first discovered in Germany and have now been identified as early H. sapiens by nearly all anthropologists. Although it is now accepted that Neanderthals were not that different from modern humans, several years ago people believed that the Neanderthal discovered in Germany was irrelevant to human evolution, and just a pathological freak. When researchers compared Neanderthal mtDNA to modern human DNA they found 25 differences in the sequence

What Neanderthal religion/burials were like at the time Neanderthal burials that have been excavated and researched in the past have produced convincing evidence suggesting that they exhibited similar characteristics to humans when it comes to religiosity. Nikki Basset explains in her article about burial rituals that “Gargett recognized that often Neanderthals were believed to have buried their dead and performed rituals that suggest an emotional capacity equal to our own.” (basset) The common theme

Unrecognized Neanderthal fossils were unearthed across Europe, as north as Belgium and as far south as Gibraltar. With a skull larger that humans Neanderthals survived the cold European lands by creating tools, mastering fire, building lodges, and hunting large animals. Neanderthals occupied Europe the same time as the first humans. Some evidence supporting the idea that humans and Neanderthals lived together and even interbreed. The Homo neanderthalensis

Thomas Huxley, an evolutionary scholar, thought that the Neanderthal was not that different from modern humans (Bonvillain and Miller 2015: 259). This was a thought that was met with large criticism over the past century. For most people, the idea of Neanderthals was not a positive image, but of a “pathological freak, peculiar, disease-ridden individual” (Bonvillain and Miller 2015: 259). After the first evidence of Neanderthals were found in Germany, they were thought of as a cartoon image who were

This species was once thought as one of us. The existent of this species has undergone conversions about their importance and their evolutionary situation. Moreover, the biggest question we ask is what happened to the Neanderthals? Two debates concerning what happened to the Neanderthals have been continuing since the 19th century. One side of the debate believes that they were unable to compete with modern humans or were unable to cope with the harsh living conditions causing them to become extinct

wiped them out through warfare. Neanderthals are thought to have lived in smaller groups and not to have reproduced as much as modern humans due to exploiting fewer resources, this would have given the Aurignacian people an easy advantage, but it is also commonly accepted that it would not have been needed. It is thought that through better use of resources and a willingness to take more resources that H.Sapiens Sapiens could have merely slowly taken over from Neanderthals by taking up all the resources

species. This comparable Species is often referred to as the “Neanderthal” but is in fact properly named the Neanderthalensis. They were intelligent beings with culture and basic technologies of their time. Contrary to the way that they are portrayed today they were arguably intelligent. The Neanderthals went extinct 20,000 to 30,000 years ago. Although there are still some debates about who these people were, we know that the Neanderthals are our closest relatives. All that remains of the hundreds

films on neanderthals I have learned many new things about them. Neanderthals and humans are similar in many ways. In fact, “What Killed Off The Neanderthals,” film stated that “1 to 2 percent of humans have DNA from neanderthals. Many things though are very different also. For one Neanderthals hunted by out running their prey. The concept of out running an animal until it has hit heat exhaustion is something that the modern day human would never contemplate as a reality. Neanderthals used the

Humans have existed on Earth for approximately 3.4 million years. The oldest known human ancestor is "Lucy," an Australopithecus. Over this extensive period of time, humans have evolved significantly. Homo Sapiens have grown from 3 to almost 6 feet (average), lost most of the body hair, became leaner and adapted to walking. Humans have come a long way, from Australopithecus to Homo sapiens, from living in trees to living in cities. Slowly, through hundreds of thousands of years, we mutated over and
