General Organization. The cerebral cortex is the outer covering of gray matter over the hemispheres. This is typically 2- 3 mm thick, covering the gyri and sulci. Certain cortical regions have somewhat simpler functions, termed the primary cortices.eneral Organization. The cerebral cortex is the outer covering of gray matter over the hemispheres.

Neanderthals were shorter than modern man, with longer skulls, jutting brows and chins, and had large torsos with short limbs. They were not adapted for running and hunting in the same way as Cro-Magnon.
Neanderthals and modern humans coexisted in some parts of the world for thousands of years. 1  The presence of Neanderthals at two other caves in Israel, Amud and Kebara, dated to roughly 55,000 years means that Neanderthals and Homo sapiens overlapped in this region for at least 55,000 years.
