Modern man (homo sapiens) and neanderthal man (homo neanderthalensis) are closely related. They both belong to the genus homo, and the time periods in which the two species lived overlap. Neanderthals lived between 500,000 (ish) and 30,000 years ago, and modern humans first showed up around 200,000 years ago (modern in appearance, though not necessarily in behavior). DNA evidence even supports the idea that members of the two species inter-bred successfully! There are, however, differences: neanderthal humans had a more pronounced nose, and a slightly larger cranium (brain compartment) than modern humans. Both species made and used tools, however neanderthal tools were much more primitive. It is suggested that neanderthals were better adapted for a colder climate, which may have led to the eventual supremacy of modern humans as the planet warmed.
Homo erectus lived 1.8 million years ago and hunted for food with hand axe. They also protected themselves with fire. While, Homo sapien sapiens discovered technology. They are also still alive.
Completley different species. homo sapien is the modern man, the other is the "cave man".
There was no difference, they were both Humans(Homo Sapians)
Neanderthals were hominids.
Australopithecus.
They are a hominid, but more specifically, they are considered a primitive human species.
The difference between Neanderthal DNA and human DNA is less than one percent.
Lucy was not a Neanderthal. She was an earlier form of hominid. Lucy was an Australopithecus found in Africa, Ethiopia i believe to be exact. She is was one of the first almost complete skeletons found. she got their name from the beetles song that was playing when they found her.
I do not believe there is an antonym for hominid.

Hominid pelvis is bowl shaped while a quadruped pelvis is wider because of the way the internal organs are carried and protected.

A homonid (hominid) is of the primate family including humans. Homonid was the initial spelling then was anglicized to hominid. Homonoid means to resemble human like qualities. Interesting fact J.R.R. Tolkeins use of the word homonid was to describe the race of Great Apes in his books.
Prehistory is the part of history before humans could write things down.A hominid is not just modern men or homo sapiens. It included neanderthal and Australopithecus.The ancestor of all placenta mammals is a cynodont.
Neanderthal Women gathered medicines (narcotics , salve etc.) and followed the hunt. There was not such a sharp division of labor between genders as there was with homo sapiens
