What else can I help you with?
Who were the Neanderthal's enemies?
It is thought that Neanderthals,who incidentally had a larger brain than Homo Sapiens, were attacked by our descendants. We think that we interbred with female Neanderthals and that we are a genetic mix of both species. or... possibly anything that considered Neathandrals as lunch, would be their enemies.
Did neanderthals invent pottery?
I think the Neanderthals invented "Grooved Ware Pottery" which was found in association with Amud 1 and also at Skara Brae in association with Red Ochre Paint also used by Neanderthal in Burial ceremonies and the evidence is clear that they achieved Neolithic civilization.
Do scientists think Neanderthals were as smart as humans today?
Well, let's think about this shall we? Neanderthals had brains that were around five percent bigger than ours. It does not necessarily mean they were smarter than us. But the idea that they were stupid is as old-fashioned and primitive as the Neanderthal stereotype comes across. They were far from stupid. For one thing, they could speak. Scientists had found a hyoid bone comparable to ours and this helped Neanderthals to produce a wide range of sounds-in other words, speech. So Neanderthals must have had some form of language. Language and the ability to communicate is one sign of intelligence. They may have had some kind of religion, though this is still debated. The skull of a cave bear that kept within a stone chest in a cave supposedly inhabited by Neanderthals. The cave bear skull was either some kind of trophy or some kind of tribal god. The Neanderthals also buried their dead, and a few burial sites were found with offerings. This not only shows care, but shows some kind of culture. In terms of creativity-they had paint, yes, but this may actually have been used as body paint rather than something to dab on the walls of a cave. But there has been an interesting find by scientists-a bear bone with a row of holes penetrated into it. This may have been a flute, which scientists suspect may have been made by Neanderthals. It's also been proven that they can show a display of emotions-aggression, empathy, sympathy etc. Basically, they would have shown the same emotions that we feel. When our species arrived, with our advanced technology, Neanderthals had tools which in some cases were more efficient than ours. For example, when trying to cut something as hard as leather, Neanderthals had larger tools that got the job done far more quickly than our smaller, more nimble tools did. Yet Neanderthals may have shown some kind of appreciation for our technology and tried to copy some of them-for example, they tried to make throwing spears and started to use ochre in their burials. Language, culture, emotion, inventiveness and the willingness to try out new techniques and technology was something these Neanderthals had, and it's these things that show high intellegence. So overall, scientists might just be able to agree that Neanderthals were as smart as humans today.
How were Neanderthals similar to people today?
Yes. They are often referred to as cousins. Though we are not mainly descended from them, about 4% of modern European DNA derives from them. They were probably mainly wiped out by climate change, and the second wave of migration from Africa inter-married with them. Modern Africans who have not left Africa do not have Neanderthal DNA.
Do neanderthals deserve human rights?
That's an interesting legal question, which will likely never be answered as there are no longer any Neanderthals around. If they still existed, I think that they would probably have the same rights as the Prawns in the film District 9. I would prefer equal rights though. Then again, I would campaign for equal rights for rabbits if I could!

What was Charles Darwin's big idea?
That all humans had evolved from apes into modern humans, research into our own DNA shows that Neanderthals interbred with another branch of apes called cro-magnon man. This resulted in modern humans that we knoe today.

When do scientists think that humans first appeared in the geologic time scale?
Scientists believe that humans first appeared during the Quaternary period, specifically in the Pleistocene epoch. This period started about 2.6 million years ago and continues to the present day.
Are humans civilized monkeys?
Yes, technically humans ARE civilized monkeys. But this is in my opinion. Scientists really do not know. Thank you other civilized monkeys who think this is correct :).
Do chimps and humans have almost the same hemoglobin?
Yes, in fact, they have about 99% of the same hemoglobin. This may be why scientists think humans evolved from monkeys, apes, gorillas, and/or chimps (chimpanzees).
What event or development in early human history do you think is of particular signifacance?
The development of humans that walk upright and opposable thumbs. It helped scientists classify us as modern humans.
do you think that scientists will ever run out of things to study?
No, the universe is infinite there will always be something to study as humans keep growing and rewriting history,

What did neanderthals use to keep their houses together?
I think that they lived in caves. Hope it helped!! ^^
