With the diverse variety of beliefs‚ some people could believe that these Neanderthals are actually the ancestors of mankind today while others may believe that they are not even of the same species.

The Cro Magnons and Neanderthals The Cro Magnons appeared in Africa around 100‚000 years ago and entered Europe 35‚000 years ago.

Cro Magnons are like us in many ways‚ appearance wise we look exactly the same‚ unlike the Neanderthals who were short and stocky with big bones and a slightly larger brain then Cro Magnons.

Chapter 1 Physical Context of African History: Geography and Environment 1.

clan of Neanderthals who worship bear spirits. Unfortunately and probably unknowingly to her‚ most of her story would have had to be written differently in order to be more anthropologically accurate.

between Neanderthals and early modern humans‚ modern humans still contain traces of prehistoric Neanderthal DNA. According to researchers‚ Asians and Europeans most likely possess a higher frequency of Neanderthal genomes than Africans because the two species “occupied the [same regions] intermittently” in Europe‚ the Midwest‚ the Near East‚ and Russia and may have coexisted with one another for up to 10‚000 years before the Neanderthal lineage died out. The article explains that Neanderthal genomes
