350,000-30,000 yBP, Africa, Asia, Europe, 1200cc early, 1500cc late
(less robust, smaller back teeth but larger front teeth) (used Acheulian tech early, Mousterian late, big game hunters, buried dead after 100,000yBP, used symbols, social care, speech) |
|
Neandertals
|
(part of late archaic h.sapiens)
130,000-30,000 yBP in Europe, 60,000-40,000 yBP in W. Asia features: wide nose, projecting face, long low skull, large front teeth, wide body and short limbs - large brains, some as big as 1700cc?? - adapted to cold, associated with Mousterian, successful hunters -buried dead, used symbols, possible speech |

Africa 160,000 yBP
W Asia 90,000 yBP E Asia 35,000 yBP Europe 32,000 yBP 1500cc Upper Pleistocene/Paleolithic - cave art, burial w/ grave goods, less hunting more fishing, more fishing tech, more plants - features: reduced face, small teeth, vert forehead, more rounded skull, gracile postcranial bones - heat-adapted body morphology = small trunk and long limbs |
