Late Stone Age Peoples

Okay, archaeologists, you have studied the theories about how early people may have lived during the Stone Age. After examining the artifacts from your discoveries, you have been able to identify certain traits and patterns, which has led you to make some inferences about how these early people, such as the Neanderthals, may have lived.

Now you must make a comparison: How were Neanderthals and modern humans similar? Create a list of similarities between the two. Based on the evidence you have discovered, you should be able to explain your findings to a group of museum visitors. Post your findings as a comment on this blog by Thursday, Sept. 12. Be prepared to share your findings in class as well.

  1. Neanderthals and modern human beings are very similar since they were believed to also, kind of, sort of, to be a human, if they are not, then that means that there is a new type of species, Also, some people believe in the after life of being resurrected. What do you think?

    1. Neanderthals and modern humans are similar since they both are intelligent but the Neanderthals disappeared 30,000 years ago. Also, Neanderthals are a different species. Modern humans developed better tools and a more complex language which is what allowed then to communicate ideas.
