-

- Asia Minor
-
Time
- 350 kya to 28 kya
- possible split from AMH 500 kya
- Some say Neaderthals and AMH interbred
-
Culture
-
Tools
-
Mousterian Industry
- Neaderthals
- Flake tools
- Levallois technique
-
Subsistence
- Lots of meat
- High protein diet
- Fairly healthy diet
- hunting is very important to N~ and so they get injured frequently
-
Compassion
- First evidence for helping hurt members
-
Burying and burial ritual
- Digging graves
- Grave goods
- Carefully placed
-
Symbolism
- possible for them to protray abstract ideas
- 1% of Neaderthals had red hair
-
Morphology
- Larger brain than AMH
-
Different from H. Erectus
-
Large nasal aperture
- cold climate adaptation
- Prominent supraorbital ridge
- Circular eye orbits
- Skull capacity 1,550 cc
-
Cranium
- Slightly larger incisors
- Occipital bun on back of skull
-
Long, Flat, Low Skull
- no forehead
- Retromolar Gap
- Midfacial prognathism
-
Chest
- Shorter, Stockier Stature
- Average height 5' 6"
- Larger areas for muscle attachments
- Thicker more robust limb bones
- prob adaptation cold
-
Rules
-
Bergmann's Rule
- Animals in colder climates have stockier and larger bodies
- THis creates an increased body mass to surface ratio which helps to retain heat
- surface area to body mass
-
Modern Humans
-
Morphology
- Longer distal limbs
- Cranial 1450 ccs

- Vertical forehead
- Female Mitochonria shows no neaderthal DNA

Hypotheses
-
Multi-regional
-
After homo erectus spread to africa
genes flowed freely between populations
so AMH could procreate with neaderthals.
- Evidence
- Neaderthal
-
Replacement (out of africa)
- When homo erectus came out of africa,
they got seperated. AMH replaced Neaderthals.
