Such advantages meant that Homo sapiens could find food and resources even in the harshest of environments far easier than the other species of human.
For example in order to reach America Homo sapiens had to be able to withstand the Arctic conditions of the Siberian passage. So they learned to team together and hunt the large nutrient-packed mammoths and to make snowshoes and warm clothing out of their skin and fur.
This revolution in brainpower allowed modern humans to venture into the most remote corners of the globe. Starting in Africa
