  1. Chapter 10, Neanderthals and Other Archaic Homo sapiens Key Terms

  2. Archaic Homo sapiensEarlier forms of Homo sapiens from the Old World that differ from H. erectus but lack the full set of characteristics diagnostic of modern H. sapiens. Anatomically modern Homo sapiensAll modern humans and some fossil forms, dating as early as 200,000 y.a.; defined by a set of derived characteristics, including cranial architecture and lack of skeletal robusticity; usually classified at the subspecies level as Homo sapiens sapiens.

  3. FlexedThe position of the body in a bent orientation, with the arms and legs drawn up to the chest. Upper PaleolithicCultural period usually associated with early modern humans and distinguished by technological innovation in various stone tool industries. Best known from western Europe, similar industries are also known from central and eastern Europe and Africa.

  4. ChatelperronianPertaining to an Upper Paleolithic tool industry found in France and Spain, containing blade tools and associated with Neandertals. MousterianPertaining to the stone tool industry associated with Neandertals and some modern H. sapiens groups; also called Middle Paleolithic. This industry is characterized by a larger proportion of flake tools than is found in Acheulian tool kits.
