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 made their exit roughly 30,000 years ago. The last dwarf-like humans vanished from Flores Island about 12,000 years ago. They left behind some bones, stone tools, a few genes in our DNA and a lot of unanswered questions. They also left behind us, Homo sapiens, the last human species.e donât know exactly where and when animals that can be classified as Homo sapiens first evolved from some earlier type of humans, but most scientists agree that by 150,000 years ago, East Africa was populated by Sapiens that looked just like us.
