The path

First, humans moved from Africa to Asia and Europe. In the ice age, they moved across the frozen sea to Australia and North America, and after that, they moved down from North America to central America and then to South America.

Before us (Homo Sapiens), there were the Neanderthals in Europe. They were stronger and bigger than our ancestors. They got extinct and we don’t know why.

They hunted mammoths and woolly rhinoceros. The Neanderthals, who lived close to the ice caps, evolved special adaptations to the ice age conditions.
