has any body ever seen the documentary walking with cavemen??

Question

seems there were alot of different homonids walking upright back then, alot look really close to us, and it seems neandrethal and homosapiens walked on this earth about the same time before the neandrethals died off, any answers for this

Answer 1

Dinosaurs existed at the same time as early Humans and were domesticated by them to perform many useful tasks.

Answer 2

You should also check out the issue of Time magazine that talks about this. It actually depicts where humans are on a tree of primates. It shows how some "branch" off from others. I liked the documnetary, but the visually imagine in the magazine helped me process the information. Here is a copy of the article, unfortunatley, the picture I'm talking about can't be found on the site.

Answer 3

I think it's accepted based on the fossil evidence (with no missing links incredibly enough) that there were several homonid species co-existing but cro-Magnon for some reason proved the best able to adapt and establish himself.

Answer 4

Yes, absolutely.

Stop thinking of evolution as a ladder, where one species replaces another. Think of it more as a bush. Some bushes have lots of branches, some only a few. At the moment, the hominid bush just has one little twig left - us. Compared to, say, antelopes, we've not actually been that sucessful a group.

Answer 5

silverbirch is correct.

There is tons of speculation that homo may have mated with neanderthal, for instance. I believe the latest evidence shows that we did not. But that can always change.

Answer 6

I saw it, rather enjoyed it too. And interesting to think aobut exactly what traits make us different and how they evolved.

Answer 7

No, I did not see it and have no answers, but it sounds interesting.

Answer 8

it was an interesting tale....kinda hard to believe though.
