What is the diference between a Neanderthal and a Cro-magnon? Which one came first? "Neanderthal" is usually a term that is used by many meaning dumb or stupid. Neanderthals evolved from the average gorilla , their skulls taking a much rounder shape and their posture straightening, and they were only one branch of human evolution. Another branch of human evolution is the Cro-magnon. These were evolved apes also, but they didnt reach this state until later. The neanderthals lived happily in the northern European part of the world when the Cro-magnons evolved into their "full human state". The time ranges of these races overplapped and, strangely, when the Cro-magnons reached the upper region of Europe, The Neanderthals simultaneously disappeared within the period of a couple thousand years. The question is, why?
Well that is the big question now isnt it? We must first take into account that the Cro-magnons were so much more advanced than the Neanderthals. Archaeologists have found no evidence of any civilized living by the Neanderthals. The earliest findings of organized living, hunting and art was during the time of the Cro-magnons. Along with that, there were signs of the wearly stages of modern weaponry. Instead of huge chunks of rock attached to the end of a stick, there were different tools used for different things; an axe for chopping, a knife for cutting, or a bowl for drinking or food.
My theory is that the Cro-magnons dominated the Neanderthanls with their superior weaponry. I think that the Cro-magnons marched onto the Neanderthals land and forced their way into their parts. I think that there was a massive war between the two branches of human evolution and the Cro-magnons won because they were better fighters. They were smarter and could make educated decisions and used their skill and weapons to dominate the country.
