Homo sapiens, or modern human, have been around for 200,000 years, but what came before? Scientists have found evidence of many pre-humans: Homo erectus, Homo habilis, and the most famous... Homo Neandenthalensis. Movies, books, and magazines have all been made about them, but what are they really like? Neanderthals had a unique lifestyle, fascinating diet, and amazing anatomy!
The Neanderthals first remains were found in Neander valley in Europe. Evidence suggests that Neanderthals were adapted to steppe-tundra woodlands. Archaeologists studied the evidence above, and found that Neanderthals occupied a huge swath of Europe and Asia during the ice-age. Scientists found that they were adapted to woodlands.(Parmer) …show more content…
Scientists have compared human and Neanderthal skulls, and have found that the Neanderthal brain size is equal to, or maybe greater, than our own (''What makes you human?'') . While comparing skulls, scientists also found a huge nasal cavity. This, combined with a huge chest, resulted in a high, squeaky, voice(Parmer). Based on remains found, Neanderthals also had a muscular build, with thick limbs (''Homo Neanderthalensis'') . This made for a slow, shuffling, movement as their way of movement (''Neanderthal''), however they were very adapted to jumping and
