The problem is that some of the erectus finds are actually ape and others clearly sapien and these two have sometimes been mixed or blended giving the appearance of them being one creature (we saw this in Java Man and Peking Man). The evidence could just as well indicate both species living in close proximity and one eating the other but nothing indicated social/sexual interaction or reproduction. Thus any speculation on cultural comparisons would be tainted by the plausibility that this has occurred. Though the current beliefs are dominated by the errors of appeal to authority and argumentum ad populum we actually know very little factually speaking.
Renowned evolutionist Ernst Mayr, (What Makes Biology Unique?, p. 198, Cambridge University Press, 2004) revelaed to us that "The earliest fossils of Homo… are separated from Australopithecus by a large, unbridged gap. How can we explain this seeming saltation? Not having any fossils that can serve as missing links, we have to fall back on the time-honored method of historical science, the construction of a historical narrative."
That being true what happens is revealed here...David Pilbeam in, "Pro-Evolution", Vol. 14, p.127, "...in my own subject of Paleo-anthropology the "theory" heavily influenced by implicit ideas, almost always dominates data...ideas that are totally unrelated to actual fossils have dominated theory building, which in turn strongly influences the way fossils are interpreted."

Neanderthals and early humans shared a common ancestor and lived in similar environments during the Paleolithic era. They both used tools, hunted animals, and interacted with their surroundings. Additionally, recent genetic studies have shown that there was interbreeding between Neanderthals and early humans, indicating some level of genetic similarity.

One difference between early modern humans and neanderthals is that early modern humans?
had more sophisticated tools and art, as well as a more complex social structure than Neanderthals.
Which group of early humans most resembled modern Europeans?
neanderthals
Neanderthals were probably the first early people to?
Neanderthals were not the first early humans, but they were a distinct human species that lived alongside Homo sapiens. They had a similar level of intelligence and even interbred with early humans. Neanderthals became extinct around 40,000 years ago.
What was the Early Modern Humans and Neanderthals Social Behaviors like?
Early Modern Humans and Neanderthals had social behaviors that included hunting in groups, creating tools, caring for their young, and potentially engaging in symbolic behaviors such as burying their dead. Neanderthals are thought to have had close-knit family groups, while early modern humans had more complex social structures that may have contributed to their successful expansion across different environments.
What did neanderthals contribute to early civilization?
Neanderthals are thought to have contributed to early human evolution through their genetic contributions to modern human populations. They may have also passed on cultural knowledge and technologies to early modern humans, such as tool-making techniques and hunting strategies. Their interactions with early humans may have played a role in shaping human culture and behavior.

What category of animal do neanderthals fall into?
Neanderthals are early humans, therefore they are mammals
Neanderthals were probably the first of the early humans to?
Paint on cave walls.
Which group of early humans most resembled modern Europeans?
neanderthals
What branch of early humans migrated to Europe about 150000 years ago used stone and were the first bury their dead?
The branch of early humans that migrated to Europe around 150,000 years ago and were the first to bury their dead were Neanderthals. They used stone tools and displayed burials with grave goods, indicating a symbolic understanding of death. Neanderthals thrived in Europe and parts of Asia before eventually going extinct around 40,000 years ago.
How did humans go from neanderthals to what you are today?
Scientists believe that modern humans, Homo sapiens, coexisted with Neanderthals for a period of time before ultimately outcompeting them. Interbreeding between the two species likely occurred and some Neanderthal DNA still exists in modern human populations. Over time, Homo sapiens adapted and evolved traits that allowed them to thrive and eventually dominate the Earth.

What distinguishes neanderthals from early humans?
Physically, Neanderthals had a larger body mass, bigger muscles, an expanded ribcage that housed larger lungs, a weak chin and a prominent brow ridge.
Did Neanderthals give rise to European humans?
No. European humans (Cro-Magnon) lived at the same time as the Neanderthals.
What made neanderthals human-like?
Neanderthals had similar physical characteristics to modern humans, such as large brains, sophisticated tool-making abilities, and the ability to communicate. They also engaged in symbolic behavior, created art, and buried their dead, suggesting they had complex social structures and cultural practices. These traits indicate a level of cognitive and behavioral complexity that is characteristic of human-like beings.
Are Neanderthals humans?
There is some controversy on this; some scientist believe that Neanderthals were a sub-species of humans, and some believe that they were a separate species and not humans at all.
What do neanderthals have in common with humans?
They could communicate, they were part of our genus, they ate the same as us, they were Humanoid, many, many things.
