Was there a war between Neanderthals and humans?
The Neanderthals never accepted to share their food, so war was declared. The Neanderthals were a lot stronger (physically) but our ancestors were a lot more innovative and had a higher rate of reproduction. This lead to 100,000 years of ongoing global conflicts between the two species.
When did humans and Neanderthals live together?
Humans and Neanderthals ‘co-existed in Europe for far longer than thought’ Modern humans were present in Europe at least 46,000 years ago, according to new research on objects found in Bulgaria, meaning they overlapped with Neanderthals for far longer than previously thought.
When did modern humans and Neanderthals both live in Europe?
Modern humans spread across Europe about 40,000 years ago. Early Eurasian Homo sapiens fossils have been found in Israel and Greece, dated to 194,000–177,000 and 210,000 years old respectively.
Who would win a fight between a human and Neanderthal?
A Neanderthal would have a clear power advantage over his Homo sapiens opponent. Many of the Neanderthals archaeologists have recovered had Popeye forearms, possibly the result of a life spent stabbing wooly mammoths and straight-tusked elephants to death and dismantling their carcasses.
How are Neanderthals different from Homo sapiens?
The main difference between Neanderthal and Homo sapiens is that Neanderthals were hunter-gatherers whereas Homo sapiens spend a settled life, producing food through agriculture and domestication. Homo sapiens sapiens and Homo sapiens idaltu are the two subspecies of Homo sapiens.
Are Neanderthals Homosapien?

Where is Neanderthal located?
Name and classification. Neanderthals are named after one of the first sites where their fossils were discovered in the mid 19th century in the Neander Valley, just east of Düsseldorf, at the time in the Rhine Province of the Kingdom of Prussia (now in Northrhine-Westphalia, Germany).
Where and when did Neanderthals live?
Neanderthals lived across Eurasia, as far north and west as the Britain, through part of the Middle East, to Uzbekistan. Popular estimates put the peak Neanderthal population around 70,000, though some scientists put the number drastically lower, at around 3,500 females.
