500 Questions
Do European types owe their physical characteristics to Neanderthal interbreeding?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, to some extent. Modern humans of non-African descent have inherited a small percentage of their DNA from Neanderthals through interbreeding. This interbreeding likely contributed to certain physical characteristics, such as skin, hair, and eye color, found in European populations today. However, it is important to note that Neanderthal DNA constitutes only a small portion of the overall genome.
What is the lifestyle of the US?
Asked by Wiki User
The lifestyle in the US is diverse and varies depending on individuals and regions. However, some common characteristics include a strong emphasis on work-life balance, consumerism, individualism, and a focus on personal freedoms and opportunities. Americans tend to value convenience, leisure activities, and a high standard of living.
What was the first controversy sparked by Neanderthals?
Asked by Wiki User
One of the first controversies surrounding Neanderthals was their classification as a separate species from modern humans. Initially, some scientists argued that Neanderthals were a subspecies or a primitive race within the Homo sapiens lineage. However, subsequent research based on fossils and genetic evidence supported their designation as a distinct species, Homo neanderthalensis.
What did the neanderthals do in the day time?
Asked by Wiki User
During the daytime, Neanderthals engaged in various activities to survive. They would search for food by hunting animals or gathering plants, make tools and weapons, build shelters, and carry out social interactions within their communities. Neanderthals were resourceful and adaptive, utilizing their intelligence and skills to navigate their environment and fulfill their daily needs.
What are the 4 components of our lifestyle?
Asked by Wiki User
The four components of our lifestyle are physical activity, nutrition, sleep, and stress management. These components are interconnected and play a crucial role in maintaining overall health and well-being. By balancing these aspects, individuals can optimize their lifestyle and enhance their quality of life.
Why did neanderthals die off?
Asked by Wiki User
Either because of climate change, or competition from Cro-Magnon man (modern humans).
What skill did cro magnons have?
Asked by Wiki User
They were skilled hunters of large animals. Artistically, they're known for their paintings on cave walls.
Who is closest relative to modern humans?
Asked by Wiki User
Homo erectus is the closest known relative to modern humans.
Did Neanderthals and humans co exist?
Asked by Wiki User
Of course they did! Scientist have found fossils that are dated to about 600,000-350,000 years ago.
For that matter, "neanderthals" were human, Homo sapiens neanderthalensis. They are considered a subspecies... about as closely related to modern humans as dogs are to wolves, for example.
What were neanderthals like?
Asked by Wiki User
In construction, as our nearest genetic cousin homo sapiens neanderthalensis (occasionally classified as not a subspecies, but a new species homo neanderthalensis), the Neanderthals were extremely similar to our current species, home sapiens sapiens.
Body-wise, Neanderthals were virtually identical to modern humans, being just slightly shorter on average than contemporary humans of the time. They were a bit more stoutly built, having slightly thicker bones structures and anatomical arrangement, and analysis of their stature and bones have indicated that they carried a strong musculature, probably being 10-20% stronger than a comparable human. Contrary to popular belief, Neanderthals had at least an equal brain size as humans, with modern studies suggesting that adult Neanderthals actually had a slightly larger brain size.
A good breakdown of all the physical differences can be found on the Wikipedia link below.
Of course, we can't be sure what a living Neanderthal looked like, because fleshy parts have never been discovered (i.e. we've never found a mummified Neanderthal body). However, anthropologists think that they varied as much as humans in exterior looks.
What species were Cro-Magnons and Neanderthals part of?
Asked by Wiki User
Neandertals are generally classified as their own species, Homo neandertalensis. Cro Magnon man is frequently classified as being our species, Homo sapiens.
What is the lifestyle of yeoman farmers?
Asked by Wiki User
Yeomen farmers lived wherever they could purchase ten acres or so of areable land to support their family on subsistence farming. Generally half their cultivation was in food for the family and half in forage for animals.
They often experimented with cash crops or products such as whisky to generate cash. Because so much work has to be done in so short a time, sometimes neighbors gathered for harvesting, sometimes hired hands (slave or free) helped.
Although both the North and South had white populations of about 85% living on family farms, yeomen farms were not generally located amidst slavery and large plantations. Southern yeomen farmers were usually found in upland Piedmont and valley counties, away from the coast and major river arteries.
Especially in the North, with the transportation and industrial revolution that evolved in the early 1800s, marketing of their crops, and machinery allowed a farmer and his sons the ability to be self-sufficient.
Animals back when neanderthals were alive?

How have people adapted to the environment in Australia?
Asked by Wiki User
People have adapted by designing clothes and structures suitable for the climate. They also practice farming methods that are suitable for the environment.
Did Neanderthals practice cannibalism?
Asked by Wiki User
no homo erectus did eat meat but were not cannibals
Did the neanderthals and the cro-magnons live in the same time period?
Asked by Wiki User
There is still debate over whether Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon (Atomically modern humans or Homo sapiens) did interbreed. The idea they did not currently finds more favour.
