Homo Neanderthalensis (nov 1, 397723 BC – nov 1, 38000 BC)
Description:
Defining features of the skull of this species include the large middle part of the face, angled cheek bones, and a huge nose for humidifying and warmer cold, dry air. Their bodies were also shaped for heat conversion, with shorter limb extremities. Neanderthalensis were the first early humans to wear clothing, necessitated by their colder environment. They have also been the first to have language, bury their dead, and exhibit symbolic behavior.
