The early human-like being known for having the largest brain size is Homo neanderthalensis, or Neanderthals. Their advanced cognitive abilities and social structures likely contributed to their effectiveness as hunters, enabling them to hunt large prey such as mastodons and mammoths. The combination of their hunting skills and environmental changes may have played a role in the decline and eventual extinction of these giant mammals. However, it is also essential to consider other factors, such as climate change and competition with other species, in this extinction narrative.
