Middle Palaeolithic Stone Tools Stone tools made by Neanderthals during the Middle Palaeolithic were manufactured using prepared core technology‚ a technique in which whoever made the tools carefully shaped the core to control the form of the flakes produced. François Bordes Divided the stratigraphic sequence into dozens of well defined layers Created a typology of tools and counted how many of each were found at eac particular level‚ thus being able to quantify the totality of the tools

fictional lives of three hominin groups living during the extinction of Neanderthals. (K) Set in geographical Scandinavia (D)‚ the plot takes place near the end of the Pleistocene epoch after migrations of anatomically modern humans enter northern Europe. Attributes of each group’s culture formed the mode by which the catastrophic event took place. Kurtén concludes his tale by resolving the biological legacy of Neanderthals as genetic fragments as coalesced within anatomically modern humans. (K)

overheard‚ though no specific words were identifiable. Homo Neanderthalensis Neanderthals developed in Europe and Asia perhaps 300‚000 years ago‚ and existed until 28‚000 years ago. They were stocky like their ancestors‚ and shared with Homo erectus certain skull features like a prominent brow‚ receding chin‚ sloping skull and large nose‚ which helped them warm‚ and breathe frigid air. Early anthropologists depicted the Neanderthals as primitive brutish‚ cave men. A few decades ago‚ they were thought to

Using tools has been interpreted as a sign of intelligence‚ and it has been theorized that tool use may have stimulated certain aspects of human evolution-most notably the continued expansion of the human brain. Paleontology has yet to explain the expansion of this organ over millions of years despite being extremely demanding in terms of energy consumption. The brain of a modern human consumes about 20 Watts (400 kilocalories per day)‚ which is one fifth of the energy consumption of a human body

Hominid Evolution The evolution of hominids has been and still is a heated topic of debate. Many scientists debate over which species can be classified as “human”. The root "hominid" refers to members of the family of humans‚ Hominidae‚ which consists of all species on our side of the last common ancestor of humans and living apes. The time split between humans and living apes used to be thought of fifteen to twenty millions of years ago‚ but now the time period has shifted to around five
