WHAT HAVE SCIENTISTS DISCOVERED ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NEANDERTALS AND HUMANS BASED ON THEIR MITOCHONDRIAL DNA?
THE DIFFERENCES IN GENE SEQUENCES BETWEEN NEANDERTALS AND HUMANS ARE LARGER THAN THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DIFFERENT GROUPS OF HUMANS

EAST AFRICA
MOST PALEOANTHROPOLOGISTS AGREE THAT ______ EVOLVED INTO H.SAPIENS
H. ERECTUS
DOES THE PRESENCE OF TOOLS MEAN CULTURE EXISTED?
YES, BECAUSE MAKING TOOLS IS A PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR SHARED BY A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS

INCREASED BOTH ABSOLUTELY AND RELATIVELY
BRAIN SIZE HAS
INCREASED WITH MODERN FORMS
HOW WOULD COOKING WITH FIRE BE ADAPTIVE?
