4. Hunted animals:
Both Neanderthals and Homo sapiens hunted animals for food. Hunting was a key aspect of survival for both groups, as it provided a reliable source of food and other resources. Therefore, this description also belongs in the box labeled "Both."

To summarize:
- Developed complex language: Both Neanderthals and Homo sapiens.
- Made tools: Both Neanderthals and Homo sapiens.
