This extremely recent study has questioned one of the basic premises of human evolution; that we are not directly related to Homo Neanderthal. In fact, according to researchers, Neanderthal may have been capable of advance speech (FOXP2) and 1 to 4% of all modern humans DNA is from Neanderthal.
Actually that ideas under scrutiny too. Some ancient Native American cultures reflect the European cultures of that time more than the Russian and East Asian. This has lead the the proposition that we migrated over the large ice sheets covering the Atlantic ocean.
I dunno about that. I mean, it could work, but I dunno. One of the main reasons why mine works is because there is the large theory that suggests they crossed this because they were following their prey. Following under this path would still be under land, where the Cro-Magnon's prey's food is. I mean, yeah, they could migrate hundreds of miles on sheer ice, but...jeez...that's like...the trail of tears man...
Basically the first modern human culture.
As I have said in my earlier post, but I probably just ninja'd you

The same works for my theory especially when you consider how thick the ice sheets would have been during the ice age; what's to say they weren't following their prey?
It would instinctively make sense. I wouldn't walk where I can see nothing but ice, I would follow where I would find food. In a world like that, survival was 400x more vital than it is now. In order to continue to survive, the Cro-Magnons would follow the food.
I mean, yours would work too, but I also stressed it would be like the Trail of Tears-- A tireless migration that resulted in dropping populations because of no food.
Oh and back on your other post about language. I'm sure that the Neanderthals could communicate in some way shape or form, but the Cro-Magnons could do it better, in a more-complex form.

Most likely yeah, although we're learning that they have many similar speech genes to us although they might not have been able to communicate quite as well as the Cro-Magnons.

I see your point; I'll have to make sure to bring that up in biology class tomorrow and see what my teacher says.
