homosapiens
A comparison between the two

2. Compairing Homosapiens
and Neanderthals

3. Everyday life
The neanderthals were quite dependent on keeping a fire to have them stay
warm, although they struggled to keep it alive during the nights and so they
were probably cold during their nights.
Although we still need fires, we’re not
as dependent on them as the neanderthals were as we today have many
different sources to get electricity and heat from.

4. Everyday life
The neanderthals lived in smaller groups and usually didn’t communicate much
to other groups of indiviuals. They buried their dead, and evidence shows they
tried to nurse injured individuals in their groups back to health.
This behaviour is very similar to the behaviour and social organisation of
the homo sapiens.
The neanderthals were anatomically adapted with larger torsos and shorter limbs
to minimise heat loss. Homo sapiens aren’t as robustly built as we aren’t in the
same need of protection from the cold. Our teeth are smaller as we don’t use
them in the same way neanderthals used to.

5. Everyday life
● Hunted for smaller animals such as deer, but also ate the meat of larger
animals when found dead from natural causes. Although they mainly lived on
meat, evidence shows they sometimes would eat plant based foods.
The diet of homo sapiens is a lot more varied, though most of the
meat we consume is produced in factories rather than hunted down.
● To help with difficult tasks the neanderthals used their body strength, for
example, they often used their teeth as a vise. They also used simple tools
such as pieces of stone or wood to help with tasks.
The modern day human have access to
machines/more complex tools to help us handle thougher tasks.

6. Anatomy and Brain
The neanderthals had a stout body type, wide ribcage, were in the range of 152-
168 cm tall (about the same height as the homo sapiens who lived at the same
time)
Neanderthals weighed more because of their robust body and were remarkably
stronger than the homo sapiens
Neanderthals had smaller chins, but larger noses and eye sockets. They also had
a heavy eyebrow ridge, in contrast to the modern humans.
Modern humans did and still do not have as short necks as the neanderthals did
and the neanderthals’ backs did not sway as much as the backs of the homo
sapiens did.

7. Anatomy and Brain
The neanderthals skulls had larger eye sockets since they lived far up north in
Europe where there were low amounts of light. This was to improve their
vision.
These eye sockets caused their brains to become smaller and larger parts of the
brain were used for vision and mobility, which left a smaller area for more
advanced thinking also used to create social networks. This meant that the
neanderthals struggled to form social linkages and therefore lived in smaller
groups.
The modern humans had larger areas for advanced thinking and could therefore
live in larger groups.

8. social life
Neanderthals are our closest extinct human relatives.
Neanderthals lived during the ice age. They often took shelter from the
ice,snow,and otherwise unpleasant in Eurasia`s plentiful limestone caves,
many of their fossils have been found in caves, leading for the popular idea of
them as “cave men”.
Neanderthal lived in nuclear families. Discoveries of elderly deformed
Neanderthals skeletons suggest the they took care of their sick and those
who could not care for themselves.

9. social life
Neanderthals typically lived to be about 30 years old ,though some lived longer.
it is accepted that Neanderthals buried their dead.
it is not known if they had language ,though the large size and complex nature
of their brain make it likely possibility.

10. Anatomy and Brain
Homo sapiens
Neanderthals

11. When the two met...
When compairing a number of sources, the general idea of when, and where, they
met is this: Neanderthals and Homosapiens met more than 40,000 years ago,
possibly 60,000 years ago. This may have first happened in the Middle East,
possibly in Israel. The evidence that this is based on comes from DNA and bones.
Some researchers suggest that the population from the first interbreeding went on
to migrate to Europe, Asia and North America. Then the second interbreeding with
an archaic population in eastern Asia further altered the genetic makeup of people
in Oceania.
