Adaptation to different aspects: weather, location, biological adjustment. Neanderthalensis: 1856 neander valley, germany, lived in regions from middle east to w. europe from 130 30 kya, originally thought to have been dim & slow, early phase moved to middle east. We have a chin & forehead that erectus & neanderthalensis don"t have. Neandethalensis: shorter, extra muscle attachments, constant injuries, tough species. Neanderthal behaviour: new tool industry, lived in cave sites, large territories, skilled hunters, large game, spears, buried the dead, shanidar, had an afterlife ideology, looked after the weak, advanced tool technology; mousterian.

Composite tools: taking 2 different components and attaching them together easier to repair, needs an understanding of binding tools together, red ochre. Two major models for the origin of our species: multi regional evolution model (mre)
