What else can I help you with?
Were neanderthals ancestors of all modern humans?
No. While most modern humans have 1 to 4 percent Neanderthal DNA in them, Sub-Saharan Africans don't have any.
Is a neanderthal a hominid or a primitive or advanced?
A Neanderthal is a hominid, belonging to the same family (Hominidae) as modern humans. They were neither primitive nor advanced in comparison to modern humans; they had their own unique adaptations and characteristics that helped them survive in their environment.
How big is a neanderthal brain?
The average Neanderthal brain size is estimated to be around 1,600 cubic centimeters, which is larger than the average modern human brain size of around 1,350 cubic centimeters. This suggests that Neanderthals had relatively larger brains compared to modern humans.
Do northern Europeans have Neanderthal genes?
Yes, some northern Europeans have Neanderthal genes due to interbreeding between early modern humans and Neanderthals that occurred tens of thousands of years ago. This genetic intermixing is believed to have taken place as modern humans migrated out of Africa and encountered Neanderthals in Europe and Asia.
Who is the closest relative to modern humans homo erectus or Australopithecines or Cro-Magnon or Homo habilis?
"Human beings (that's us) are known as homo sapiens sapiens. DNA testing has shown that the closest relative of human beings is Neanderthal Man (homo sapiens neanderthalus). Neanderthal Man is now extinct. The closest living of human beings now is the chimpanzee. Neanderthal Man was a much closer relative to us than the chimpanzee." =============================Mitochondrial DNA testing shows that Neanderthal WAS NOT a genetic ancestor to modern H.Sapiens - but only similar kind of species . Refer to National Geographic:http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/episode/neanderthal-code-3228/04#tab-evolving-view-4 ============================= I hope I did not give anyone the impression that Neanderthal man was our ancestor. The relationship is more like a cousin. How close a cousin Neanderthal man was to us is a good question, but Neanderthal Man was much closer to us than is the chimpanzee.
Is there such an animal called neanderthal?
Neanderthal was an ancient human, closely related to modern humans.
What did the neanderthal people look like?
Shorter and stockier than modern humans.
Are neandertals in anatomically modern humans?
All modern humans, except Sub-Sahara Africans, carry 1 to 4 percent Neanderthal DNA in their genome.
How similar is DNA of humans and neanderthals?
According to modern science, very similar as it has been found that the modern human that has lived among neanderthal man ie above Africa has traces of neanderthal DNA. While Africans below that area are pure humans.
Was the place cold for the neanderthal to live?
Yes. The Neanderthal body was adapted to cold weather. It had a larger mass than modern humans, which helped retain heat.
Were neanderthals ancestors of all modern humans?
No. While most modern humans have 1 to 4 percent Neanderthal DNA in them, Sub-Saharan Africans don't have any.
How did the neanderthal died out?
Either because of climate change, or competition from Cro-Magnon man (modern humans).
How did neanderthal become exinct?
Either because of climate change, or competition from Cro-Magnon man (modern humans).

How many ribs did neanderthal have?
Neanderthals had 12 pairs of ribs, the same as modern humans.
How did the neanderthal man became extinct?
Either because of climate change, or competition from Cro-Magnon man (modern humans).
