if evolution was true.. and the Neanderthal man was wiped out by the new race.. who were they?

Question

the neanderthal due to build couldn't hunt or move fast enough to hunt in open land.. but the new people appeared with more abilities... where did they come from and who were they?

Answer 1

The answer isn't like some seem to think that one led to another like a long line of species each getting better. 30,000 years ago there were at least four species in our genus homo: Homo floresiensis, H. neanderthal, H. erectus (in Java), and H. sapiens. Our evolution was more like a bush than a tree. Many different species evolved and each one was successful in its own niche. I suspect humans developed technology and essentially wiped out the others. Most anthropologists refuse to look objectively at this and refuse to acknowledge the likely hood that our ancestors were aggressive toward its competitors. They would prefer to suggest we out compete them, rather than eliminated them. Frankly I would rather that be true but sometimes you just have to be realistic. If you found a group of Neanderthals that just killed a large animal and your family was starving at home, I suspect you would try to take it from the Neanderthal and I think this probably happened. Neanderthals were probably looked at as a threat to their lives and to their food so they pushed out. There is almost a religious fervor to suggest that we came out of Africa. It is quite likely in my opinion that humans were occupying Africa and Asia for as long as humans existed. The DNA traces come from Asia. So the anthropologist, to pay homage to the "out of Africa" gods, say they came to Europe through Asia from Africa.

Answer 2

It's not an if about evolution, dear. Like many Scientific Theories, it is also a fact.

The evidence shows that the Neanderthal was related to us by a common ancestor, and while there was interaction with early /homo sapiens sapiens/, there actually is no evidence that they were wiped out solely because a new species came into the area- they are a dead end species...like most dinosaurs.


A lot of people who don't really understand evolution think things must evolve into more complicated things and die out, but things like sharks and bacteria show us otherwise- things can exist without evolving into new species altogether, if they are adapted to their niche ideally already, and if two things both fill the niche without competing- both will co-exist. Also, things can be evolutionary dead ends- like the neanderthal. The theory of evolution actually discusses the existance of dead ends. Not everything WINS in survival of the fittest, because sometimes they aren't fit ENOUGH.

While modern humans certainly helped the neanderthals go extinct, climate change did worse:
" "My general take on Neanderthal extinction was that they were in competition with anatomically modern humans at a time when there was increasing severe cold stress that was not only affecting them, but also the food resources they relied on," said Leslie Aiello, head of the University College London Graduate School, and an expert on Neanderthal response to weather.
Neanderthals appear to have tolerated temperatures as cold as zero degrees Fahrenheit, but during the last ice age, winter temperatures dipped to well below freezing. In order to cope, Neanderthals would have needed a lot more food than they were used to obtaining in winter. "

Go out, read a book on evolution that discusses it factually, *then* try to refute it. Right now, all you're refuting is your knowledge of evolution.

Answer 3

The earth is really only about 6,000 years old and it's flat with a dome over it. Above the dome is water and on the dome are the stars, sun and moon. Neanderthal was a giant who was a cross between an angel and a hot looking early woman. They were sterile and angels stopped breeding with humans a long time ago so there are no Neanderthals around anymore.

Answer 4

Evolution is not true. I believe that the Neanderthal people are just an extinct group. Imagine if all the Chinese people had died 3000 years ago. Someone would dig up a Chinese skull and speculate on whether or not this person was human, or a missing link, or whatever.

Though I can't prove it, I believe that Neanderthals either died out, or intermixed with other groups of people. Whatever the case, they were certainly human.

Answer 5

The last species before Homo Sapiens, Homo Erectus. Homo Erectus lived in Africa, Asia, and the middle east. It is theorized that erectus moved into Europe as Neanderthals died off. It is even possible that Neanderthals were close enough to Erectus that they might have inter-bread slightly creating some of the physical differences you see in Europeans.

Answer 6

some hundred years in the past, while technological information began to take over from faith and persons made connections between very own hygiene and ailment extremely than merely blaming ailment as punishment or a try from god

Answer 7

That'd be our cro-magnon ancestors, who rolled on out of Africa and jacked up the neanderthals.

Answer 8

I'm thinking it was the Peking man somewhere over in Europe.

Answer 9

They spontaneously mutated from a previous generation.

Answer 10

There was Homo erectus, then Homo sapians, then Homo sapiens sapiens.
