Among early hominids, Homo sapiens are the most like modern humans, as they share a direct lineage. However, Homo neanderthalensis (Neanderthals) also exhibited significant similarities, including advanced tool use, social structures, and possibly even the capacity for language and culture. Additionally, evidence suggests that Neanderthals interbred with early modern humans, contributing to the genetic makeup of contemporary populations. This shared ancestry and behavioral traits highlight the close relationship between these species and modern humans.

What group of hominids' shows that they are identical to modern humans?

There are no hominids that are identical to modern humans except modern humans ourselves. To be classified as a different species or sub species they have to be different. There are hominids that were very similar to modern humans. Neanderthals for example would not look completely out of place at a party. Even ancient hominids share many characteristics with modern humans. Upright walking stance and intelligent think all be it less than modern humans are common amongst many of our ancestors. Yea... So the answer is Cro-Magnon... noob...

The development of humans that walk upright and opposable thumbs. It helped scientists classify us as modern humans.


What year did the cave men come into the world?

Cave men, or early modern humans, first appeared around 300,000 years ago. They were part of the Homo sapiens species and evolved from earlier hominid ancestors. These early modern humans were adept at creating tools, art, and eventually began to migrate out of Africa to other parts of the world.


Why are hominids unable to remain bored?

It would be fair to say that part of the evolutionary adaptation of hominids is some degree of intellectual activity. Hominids think about things much more than most other species do. Worms do not become bored because they do not have enough mental activity to be either interested or disinterested in anything, they just follow patterns of instinctual behavior. Hominids think.

Why Did cavemen dance?

This begs two questions; were there actually cavemen? And what makes you think they danced?Starting with the first part; caveman is something of a 19th, early 20th century stereotype. Few scientists working in the field would refer to "cavemen", mainly because there isn't much evidence that early humans actually lived in caves.Going to the second part of the question; why did they dance? It's very hard to speculate about why prehistoric hominids did things. It would be hard enough to come up with a good answer for modern humans, let alone prehistoric ones.However, I would postulate that humans are natural pattern detectors - it can be argued that a definition of intelligence is "the ability to detect patterns" and early hominids, who we know made stone tools, would have heard the repetative sounds of the toolmakers and, presumably, moved along with the sounds.


Why do you think in humans there are no viable trisomies of chromosome 1?

Why did the early explorers think Pangea is important?
