Early Homo Sapiens had many special characteristics such as thinner and taller bodies, thinner bones, and longer limbs to keep cool in hot climates. They had relatively flat faces due to shorter jaw bones. They had darker skin to protect against the sun. Homo sapiens had smaller skulls that were rounded in the back instead of the big neanderthal skulls, they also had large brains, the average size was 1300 cc (37). All of these characteristics helped the Homo Sapiens survive in their harsh climate.
