Climate Effects on Human Evolution This article explores the hypothesis that key human adaptations evolved in response to environmental instability. This idea was developed during research conducted by the Smithsonian’s Human Origins Program. Natural selection was not always a matter of ‘survival of the fittest’ but also survival of those most adaptable to changing surroundings. (Illustrations for this article coming soon.)

Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mamalia Order: Primates Family: Homildae Genus: Homo Brain Size: Neanderthal people had a brain volume of about 1200 to 1800 cubic centimeters‚ equal to and even larger than modern human brains. Neanderthal skull reconstructions provide further evidence that they were a separate species to modern humans. Distinctive Neanderthal skull features were established in early infancy.
