Compared to modern humans, archaic Homo sapiens was:

- much smaller-brained
- incompletely bipedal.
The tool industry typically used by Neandertals is called
- Oldowan
- Aurignacion
- Cro-magnon
- Acheulean
- Mousterian
Mitochondrial DNA studies suggest that all modern peoples are descended from
- Several distinct ancestral populations of Homo erectus
- Asian Homo erectus populations

- Neandertal genetic materials matches that of modern people very closely
- Neandertals differed from one another by an average of 8 base pair differences
- Modern Europeans differ from Africans by 28 base pair differences, while Neandertals differ from modern Europeans by only 8 base pairs.
- The DNA strands were degraded and could not be analyzed
