Abstract


The Near East region is unique for the study of the behavior of Neandertals and early modern humans, since both types of hominids appear together in the same space within a limited time framework (Early Upper Pleistocene). In recent years, several hypotheses have been proposed to explain differential behaviors in these hominids. In this work, the conclusions obtained by different researchers in this regard are analyzed. The theories arguing for different behaviors between neandertals and modern humans are revised critically.
