Document Summary

Short answer id"s (who what when where and why) some terms, some images and multiple-choice questions. Why is that particular piece important to the history of. Fully modern humans in terms of development and behavior. Note: cro-magnons is the term for fully modern humans/homo sapiens in europe. The first homo sapiens was found in a cave called cro-magnon, which is where the name came form. Seems that neanderthals were replaced by cro-magnons (aka modern humans). Bottom line: modern human moved come out of africa then go to near east and then inhabit all of europe. More evidence: looking at mitochondrial dna, look at rapid changes in tool types. Replaced by h. sapiens 45-25,000 years ago. Gradual disappearance through interbreeding with h. sapiens. The last neanderthal: zafarraya cave, spain, last whole neanderthal population before they fell out of the arch record, 30-27,000 years ago. Aurignacian tool industry: needles found for producing clothes, nets and fishing, blade production.
