Paper Introduction:
THE ORIGIN OF MODERN MAN
Four hundred thousand to two hundred thousand years ago, Homo erectus disappeared from the face of the earth and in his place was left archaic Homo sapiens, also known as Homo sapien neandertalensis or Neandertal man. Neandertal man had spread throughout Europe, the Near East, and Asia before one hundred thousand years ago. Then, quite suddenly, anatomically modern humans appeared throughout the Old World, replacing Neandertal man completely by about thirty-five thousand years ago (Fagan, 1989).
The question that arises is whether Neandertal man evolved to become modern man, or if modern humans migrated into the areas that were inhabited by the Neandertals and eventually replaced

evolution which produced such anatomical change thousand years ago and anatomicallymodern humans how they Neandertals kept essentially the morphology of skeletal remains modern man for less than five
