I'm sure "better technology" just means better tools, which would be very accurate. Modern humans did have better tools than other Neanderthals.
PS. Note the cracked skull of the Neanderthal.. ;)
I did not mean to write "other Neanderthals"; only that modern humans had better tools than Neanderthals. Period.
Not necessarily. Better technique would serve as well.
Example: throwing a spear at your prey instead of stabbing it. Less chance of injury and shorter kill cycle. Either you're in range or you're not, if not you move on. Stabbing critters means stalking it to get up close and personal.
Of course this would be very important if your prey carries a spear as well!
At one point I read they were also built better for running and their arms for throwing. If a bunch of people can run up to your encampment, throw rocks or spears, then run away faster than you can catch up to them, you got a big problem, long term
