show me the resoning
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Here is the reasoning for the correct answers:
1. They had complex language skills: Both Homo sapiens and Neanderthals possessed the anatomical structures necessary for complex language production. Evidence from Neanderthal fossils suggests they had a similar capacity for language as Homo sapiens.
2. They hunted animals: Both Homo sapiens and Neanderthals were skilled hunters. The archaeological record shows that they relied on hunting large game animals for their survival. They used spears and other hunting tools to capture and kill animals.
Regarding the incorrect options:
- They had smaller brains than earlier hominids: Neanderthals actually had slightly larger brains than Homo sapiens. While they had a similar range of brain sizes, Neanderthals had a slightly larger average brain size compared to Homo sapiens.
- They made tools: While Neanderthals were skilled toolmakers, Homo sapiens had more advanced and refined tool-making techniques. This distinction sets Homo sapiens apart from Neanderthals in terms of the sophistication and diversity of their tool-making capabilities.
- They used fire: While Homo sapiens are known for their consistent and controlled use of fire, evidence regarding the regular use of fire by Neanderthals is still a topic of ongoing research and debate. While they likely used fire to some extent, it may not have been as widespread or as controlled as in Homo sapiens.

They wore animal hides and furs.
The correct answer is:
- They wore animal hides and furs.
Before the advent of farming, people relied on hunting and gathering for their sustenance and resources. They used the skins and furs of animals they hunted to create their clothing. This provided protection from the elements and helped them adapt to different climates.

To identify the traits that describe both Homo sapiens and Neanderthals, we can go through each statement and see if it applies to both species.
1. They had complex language skills.
- This statement is repeated twice in the options, so it is counted as one option. However, it only describes Homo sapiens, as there is limited evidence of complex language skills in Neanderthals. Therefore, this statement does not apply to both species.
2. They hunted animals.
- This statement applies to both Homo sapiens and Neanderthals. Both species were skilled hunters and relied on hunting for their food.
3. They had smaller brains than earlier hominids.
- This statement applies to both Homo sapiens and Neanderthals. Compared to earlier hominids, both species had slightly smaller brain sizes.
4. They made tools.
- This statement applies to both Homo sapiens and Neanderthals. Both species were accomplished toolmakers and used various tools for tasks such as hunting and crafting.
5. They used fire.
- This statement applies to both Homo sapiens and Neanderthals. Evidence suggests that both species had control over fire and utilized this technology for various purposes.
Based on the above explanations, the three correct statements that describe both Homo sapiens and Neanderthals are:
- They hunted animals.
- They had smaller brains than earlier hominids.
- They made tools.
These traits were shared by both species, indicating some similarities in their behaviors and capabilities during their existence.
