Climate change is an important topic to analyze the impacts that it had on the past as well as in the future for human adaptation. I am also intrigued if Homo sapiens would continue to thrive as our society continues to destroy and reshape our environment. Or will another species emerge that is better

The video Dawn of Humanity is an interesting lesson about trying to bridge that gap between the Australopiths and homo genus. They briefly talk about previous finds such as Lucy and the different characteristics of Australopiths and homos. We watch how Professor Lee Berger worked with a group of scientist and climbers to explore a cave system that held thousands of bone fragments. Two cave climbers Steve and Rick were the ones who originally found the bones and took photos of them to show their friend

The Neanderthals are an extinct species in the homo genus. They lived during the Pleistocene age. The Neanderthals are believed to have lived in most of Eurasia from 120‚000 years ago to about 30‚000 years ago. They were a more advanced pre-modern variation of the homo genus. The reason they are viewed as more advanced than other Pre-modern hominids is because they made tools‚ buried their dead they also lived to around forty years of age. This is quite long compared to their contemporaries. Their

change‚ animals that Neanderthals would hunt would have realistically gone extinct. This would have opened a platform for starvation. Another plausible cause would have been competition among both Neanderthals and Homo sapiens for resources needed for survival. There are signs that point to Homo sapiens having long-distance trade arrangements‚ which could have easily helped when they began to struggle finding food because of the climate change. Neanderthals did not have that ability. Neanderthals
