Across
2. A French site where there is good
evidence of early archaic Homo
sapiens harnessing fire by 400,000
years ago. Many food refuse bones
were found charred presumably from
cooking. In addition, there is
possible evidence of simple fire
hearths that they made.
5. The second major tool tradition of
the Lower Paleolithic stage of
cultural development. Tools of
this tradition are found at Homo
erectus sites.
7. The kind of climate in which
larger brains and bodies are
metabolically more efficient and
likely to be selected for.
9. The name of a nearly complete
elderly male Neandertal skeleton
excavated in 1908 in southwestern
France. The bones were analyzed
between 1911 and 1913 by the noted
French paleontologist, Marcellin
Boule. This was the source of a
mistaken view about the
Neandertals that would last for
decades.
10. The genus and species names of the
Neandertals if they were a
separate species from our own.
15. The first humans known to make
stone tips for their spears.
16. The term for a pattern of
evolution in which different parts
of the body evolve at different
rates.
17. The major tool tradition of the
Middle Paleolithic stage of
cultural development. This
tradition is most well known from
Neandertal sites. |

1. The name of the man for whom a
small area of the human brain that
controls the production of speech
was named. The area is located in
the left frontal lobe of the
cerebral cortex.
3. The technical term for the “old
stone” age.
4. The name of the species that
paleoanthropologists now use to
classify the more biologically
progressive post-800,000 B.P.
populations in Europe. By 400,000-
300,000 years ago, some
populations of these people began
the evolutionary transition that
would end up with Neandertals and possibly some other peoples that have been
collectively referred to as archaic humans.
6. The term for the brain increasing
in size over and beyond that
explainable by an increase in body
size.
8. The general category of things
that Levallois technique were used
to make. This technique was first
used in the late Acheulean
Tradition by early archaic Homo
sapiens 250,000 years ago. It was
perfected in the Mousterian
Tradition by the Neandertals and
some of their contemporaries.
11. The first major tool tradition of
the Lower Paleolithic stage of
cultural development. Tools of
this tradition are found at Homo
habilis sites.
12. The most well-known late archaic humans. More of their
skeletons have been found than any
other pre-modern human species.
They lived in Europe and Southwest
Asia from at least 130,000 years
ago until 28,000 years ago. They
were the first humans to live
successfully in regions with
subarctic climates.
13. The kinds of non-human animals
that Neandertals apparently buried
ritually in Western European caves.
14. A rust red iron ore that was
ground to a powder state and used
as a paint pigment beginning with
the Neandertals and early modern
humans.
