Question

What kind of adaptations could have given homosapiens an evolutionary advantage over neanderthals and other species of humans?

Answer 1

Answer:

humans had more developed 'social' brains than Neanderthals, which enabled us to colonize new habitats and adapt to climate fluctuations

Explanation:

A more developed brain is considered to be an adaptive advantage that enabled early humans to leave Africa and colonize new habitats. Modern humans are able to adjust to new environments, situations, and socialize with other humans because the brain is a social organ. Although Neanderthals were able to occupy an important area of Europe, H. sapiens could colonize faraway lands, migrating into tropical forests, deserts, and glacial lands (colder areas than those colonized by Neanderthals). These early humans formed social groups which enabled them to find food more easily, thus greatly increasing their chances for survival.
