Even today, the overall popular conception of Neandertals is that they are primitive, aggressive cave men, much less intelligent than modern humans. Which 4 traits/behaviors (anatomical and/or cultural) would you use to explain Neandertal’s complex social life to someone who doesn’t know much about them yet. Explain in detail, why and how those traits/behaviors demonstrate your position.

DO NOT FORGET: You will have to find a peer-reviewed reference to back up your argument. You may NOT use the article provided in this module or other course material.
