Its benefits include creativity, behavioral plasticity , imagination , apprenticeship and planning. Differences in the nature of symbolic material culture of Neanderthals and modern humans suggest that Neanderthals were not capable of engaging in human-grade fantasy play. 展开 ...
Height is only one trait. Look how similar their skulls are. Both have nice round skulls compared to the football shaped Neanderthal skulls. Look how flat their faces are compared to the prognathous Neanderthals. So while the height difference might be 4.3 SD, the differences in facial angle ...
What are the cultural differences in Everyday Use? In Journey to the Center of the Earth, what is the difference between the mushroom forests and the forests found on the surface? Where is ''The Clan of the Cave Bear'' set? What tr...
Indications of trauma and stress are ample in the Neanderthal skeletal record, so much so that it has been remarked that posttraumatic lesions can be found on almost every well-preserved adult Neanderthal skeleton (Trinkaus1983; Berger and Trinkaus1995; Jelinek1994). An analysis of traumatic lesion...
and the differences between modern humans and Neanderthals. This comparison will take into consideration evolutionary and social pressures as causes of these differences in the two populations, and then will postulate that Neanderthals had the capacity for language, but that there is no way to prove...

Differences in the nature of symbolic material culture of Neanderthals and modern humans suggest that Neanderthals were not capable of engaging in human-grade fantasy play....
It is now commonly recognized that Neanderthals and earlier Middle Pleistocene European fossils form a separate evolutionary lineage, at least partly geographically isolated in Western Eurasia. Certainly, the number and magnitude of anatomical differences between Neanderthals and modern humans is such that ...
(Supplementary Table8.1). Second, several different scenarios may lead to similar Y-chromosome-to-mtDNA ratios. These include: differences in male and female generation times, a skewed offspring distribution among males (that is, a subset of males father the majority of the children) and female-...
Recent work has shown the closer behavioural affinity of the Uluzzian with the Upper Palaeolithic than with Mousterian human groups (Fig.1) due to important differences in subsistence strategies, including the use of mechanically delivered weapons (use of bow and/or spear thrower), the significant...
of intelligence, very definite visual artistic ability,relativelynon-protruding noses and only moderate male hairiness. Because of the differences in physical characteristics of this subspecies, itmaybe possible that it really consists of several subspecies that evolved separately in slightly different ways...
