Homo sapiens, the human species, literally translates to "wise man". However, the Neanderthals, Homo neanderthalensis, actually had a larger brain than humans did.

Answer:

Homo Sapiens

Step-by-step explanation:

Homo Sapiens is a Latin word means 'Wise man'. Homo Sapiens had larger brain size, which helped them to develop new techniques to trap larger prays. Homo sapiens were able to make stone tools like scrapers, flakes, bows and arrows, spears, and needles. They knew how to control the fire, which allowed them to survive in the colder region. They ate a variety of animal and plant foods.
