me… But moreover, I have learned a great deal as to how us humans have changed over the
years including interacting physically, mentally, and socially. Apart of this learning more about
our society has come from taking anthropology I say because what makes us who we are
today was what originated thousands of years ago. Like humans, they needed resources in order
to fulfill their lifestyles. Neanderthals are very much comparable to us humans physically,
mentally, and socially. They were very comparable to us as humans, but unfortunately they died
out.
Humans started to get compared to Neanderthals back in the 1950’s while comparing …show more content…
Something
else that is relative in humans and Neanderthals is the FOXP2, which is involved in speaking and
language. Stating in the research, I found that “Modern humans and Neanderthals share two
changes in the FOXP2 gene that were not tested…”(Humanorigins.si.edu) The evidence is
proving humans are in similar to Neanderthals as far as how we are able to communicate. This is
a major break because we as humans, share mental characteristics so closely related to
Neanderthals.
Neanderthals like humans were able to procreate, meaning that they would be able to have
families and be able to grow within that family. Neanderthals lived in families consisting of
what was called “nuclear families”, () this meant that these families consisted of a mother and
father and their kids. Another great example of nuclear families would be, humans. In a
typical “family setting” will have a mother and father who have procreated into making their
children. Neanderthals also like humans “took care of their elders”, (Livescience.com) although
this isn’t something that is stressed about as much, you typically see grandparent being
