Neanderthal

Tools Neanderthals used stone tools similar to and no more sophisticated than the ones used by early humans, including blades and scrapers made from stone flakes. As time went on, they created tools of greater complexity, utilizing materials like bones and antlers. Neanderthals used a type of glue, and later pitch, to attach stone tips to wooden shafts, creating formidable hunting spears. Social structure Neanderthals lived in nuclear families. Discoveries of elderly or deformed Neanderthal…

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…

for modern Humans and our closest extinct relative the Neanderthal. These two primates from the “Homo” genome from which Humans and Neanderthals evolved from to come become modern Humans. These two species have coexisted with each other in the past, and even battled for survival as humans expanded across the world. Humans and Neanderthals also interbred with one another mixing the DNA of their offspring and some of this DNA from Neanderthals can be found in Humans. Some of the adaptations Humans…

A life of a Neanderthals vs human lifestyle This most popular hominin roamed the earth in the years of 127 to 130 Kya. They had caves they made into their home. There’s this misconception that Neanderthals were least advanced as a result of their appearance. In fact, Neanderthals had a very similar lifestyle to modern humans. Their lifestyle and physical features were beneficial to their survival and unmistakably similar to humans. The skull of any organism is a major piece to the…

phylogenetic trees differ according to available data. In some, for example, Homo erectus is shown to be one of Homo sapien’s ancestors. Neanderthals are shown to be co-descendants with archaic Homo sapiens and as a dead end in the human phylogenetic tree. This would mean that they went extinct without contributing genes to modern humans. In other trees, Neanderthals are shown to have interbred with modern Homo sapiens. There are sources that claim that Homo erectus is the first hominid to…

There have been multiple species that have roamed the very Earth we roam today. Two of which are the Neanderthal species, that has gone extinct, and the Homo sapiens species, which happens to be a species that is still present in this day and age. The Neanderthal and Homo Sapiens species are two species that can both be very distinct, but can also be very similar when it comes time to compare and contrast the two. Not only are there obvious physical differences/similarities among both, but…

The Neanderthals and the Denisovans are very similar to modern man and are frequently referred to as “early modern humans”. The relationship between Neanderthals and modern humans has been debated between anthropologists. The major attraction is the possibly of Neanderthals and modern humans were genetically different species or a single species capable of producing offspring. In the essay, I will be comparing the similarities and differences between these three species and if Neanderthals…

came to find that there are many different species relating to the human species. One of these species is called the Neanderthals or also known as cavemen. Approximately 40,000 years ago the neanderthals lived but, they vanished instantly at a period of time. Not many people know why or how this happened, who really were the neanderthals and finally what they were like. Neanderthals were a species that branched off of our ancestral tree. According to many, they had multiple image problems as…

case and chest to protects organs such as the brain, heart, or and lungs. As a final comparison between humans and Neanderthal is our culture. Both species are predators looking for a pray. Both species were hunters and gathers. They hunt and kill for meat and fabric. They scavenge for things like wood or such for shelter and tools. Human survival instincts is exactly like Neanderthals survival instincts. We are one of the same. Evolution, the development of something from a simple to a more…

Homo sapiens were the only existing human species left on earth evolving since about 160,000 year ago. Homo sapiens are the complete modern humans Homo is the human genus. Which also includes Homo erectus and Neanderthals plus many other extinct species of hominid family. Question is what species evolved into Homo sapiens. According to Ember & peregrine (2007). “Most Paleoanthropologists agree that Homo erectus evolved into H. sapiens” (p.171). Reason being because, of classified fossils that…
