Yes. Generally speaking neanderthals were probably a little bit hairier than us because after all they did live in snowy and cold conditions so they needed the extra fur which acted as a coat to keep them warm.

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.


Did neanderthal genes make us smarter?

It is theorized that some Neanderthal genes may have influenced certain cognitive abilities in modern humans, potentially contributing to traits like adaptability to new environments, language development, and immune system function. However, the exact impact of Neanderthal genes on human intelligence is still a topic of ongoing research and debate.


Why didn't the homo sapiens survive?

How long was Moses on the scene before the Neanderthal was discovered?

The Neanderthal was not discovered while Moses was alive. Moses would have died around 1441BC. The first remains of Neanderthal man (the top of a skull) were discovered in 1856 in the Neander Gorge near Dusseldorf in Germany. This makes a time gap of 3297 years.


What color was neanderthal skin or were the different by geography like us?

Studies suggest that Neanderthal skin color varied by geography, similar to modern humans. Genetic analysis indicates they likely had fair skin in regions with less sunlight and darker skin in regions with greater sun exposure. However, the exact skin color of Neanderthals is still debated among researchers.

For how many years were people on earth?

It depends on your definition of people. Archaic Homo sapiens (us) were around as early as 300 000 years ago. Hominids (like "Lucy" an Australopithecus africanus‎) have been here for 3 million years. Homo erectus were around more than a million years ago and Neanderthal were present 600,000--350,000 years ago .
