Modern man... Homo Sapien Sapiens (Sons of Man) started in Africa.
They thrived because they had more diverse sociable groups that divided the tasks such as hunting, gathering, primitive art and ritual worship between
them.
Neanderthals (early Europeans became extinct because they were anti social) and spent 70% of their time hunting for food. This left little time for
mental stimuli which meant they were unable to adapt fast enough to survive their harsh environments. Eventually this led to their extinction.
