example‚ about Archeologist’s believe Neanderthals held a funeral for a man‚ that was located in the Shanidar Cave‚ Iraq. Archaeologists discovered that the Neanderthal’s family covered his body with flowers during the funeral‚ which points to the theory of the afterlife. As Richard E. Leakey states‚ “The Shanidar events… speak clearly of a deep feeling for the spiritual quality of life. A concern for the fate of the human soul… was evidently a theme of Neanderthal society too.” 1.

universal themes of what it means to be civilized in the eyes of ones culture. This is not accomplished with words. The plot and the primal reactions to events in the story convey the norms of the people. For example‚ there is a scene in which a Neanderthal by the name of Mal has been slain and the other members of his group are coming to terms with his passing with this simple utterance‚ "Oa has taken Mal into her belly." (Golding 91) The creatures display a sense of spirituality with their deity

Categorizing ancients species into clades is a tricky business. The scientific community will always disagree about one factor or another and as D. Curnoe states “Another problem with coding character states is the handling of variation within species. While this form of variation is usually ignored by palaeoanthropologists‚ when characters are recognized as varying‚ their treatment as a separate state adds considerable error to cladograms.” (Curnoe 2003) D. Curnoe is an example of an extreme clumper

evolved from apes and Neanderthals since we have morphological and biological similarities proven by human fossils like bones‚ tools‚ and footprints left by earlier people. These ancestral apes then evolved to humans by natural selection‚ changing their posture‚ bone structure‚ appearance and behavior as the more selectively advantaged apes survived and reproduced. [12] Charles Darwin who came up with the theory of natural selection‚ believed that apes‚ humanoids‚ and Neanderthals are common ancestors

Anthropologist Professor Roberts Alice and the Biologist Dr. McGavin George. In the documentary‚ the duo explores the evolution of the human species and all that is known about our hominid cousins and early ancestors‚ focusing on the behavior of the Neanderthal‚ Homo erectus‚ and Autralopithecus afarencis (History Essentials‚ 2013). In his analysis‚ Bickerton argues that wherever life evolves‚ it will inevitably create creatures that think and communicate‚ either more or less‚ than humans do today; in

Homo sapiens (Latin: "wise man") is the scientific name for the human species. Homo is the human genus‚ which also includes Neanderthals and many other extinct species of hominid; H. sapiens is the only surviving species of the genus Homo. Modern humans are the subspecies Homo sapiens sapiens‚ differentiated from their direct ancestor‚ Homo sapiens idaltu. Subspecies of H. sapiens include Homo sapiens idaltu and the only extant subspecies Homo sapiens sapiens. Some sources show Homo sapiens neanderthalensis
