Homo sapiens evolved in Africa and are modern humans, while Homo neanderthalensis or Neanderthals co-existed with humans but went extinct 30,000 years ago. During the ice age between 35,000 and 12,000 years ago, large ice sheets covered northern Europe. Middens are mounds containing shells, bones, and refuse that indicate prehistoric human settlements.
