Did neanderthals like eating mammoths?

It is likely that Neanderthals did eat mammoths as part of their diet, as mammoths were a source of large amounts of meat and other resources. Evidence such as butchered mammoth bones found at Neanderthal sites supports this hypothesis.


Are European Caucasians closer related to Asians or Africans?

Probably more like Asians The theory goes that human life (homosapien ) started in Central Africa somewhere and worked its way up from there throught the area around the Mediterranean and then east into Asia. However there existed at the time another human like race (neanderthal) and there was some genetic mixing between the two at the time that they coexisted in the same area. In any case neanderthal went extinct but left traces of its DNA in the homosapiens that moved east. Which indicates that Asians and Europeans are part neanderthal and Africans are more likely to be pure homosapien.


Which major part of the world was settled by Homo sapiens last?

The Americas.


Why did the neanderthals bury their dead?

Honestly, any reason we might be able to come up with would be pure supposition. Neanderthal have been extinct for several tens of thousands of years. They had no written language, so no record exist. It is possible they buried their dead because they believed if they didn't the spirit or the soul of the person would become angry and haunt them. It is just as possible that it was a way for them to say goodbye. It is equally possible it was a practical matter, meant to keep scavengers from feeding on the dead. Or, there could be any number of other reasons. All we really know of Neanderthal is from a few fossils and perhaps some cave drawings and artifacts.


What was the most inhumane part of the triangular trade?

The middle passage was the most inhumane part of the triangular trade, where enslaved Africans were transported from Africa to the Americas in inhumane conditions. They were packed tightly into ships, with many dying from disease, malnutrition, and poor treatment during the long and treacherous journey.
