Homo erectus evolved into Homo sapiens and had dramatically smaller brains than us. Jared Diamond also states that there was another type of the same Genus called the Neanderthals. Homo neanderthalensis had brains larger than ours; they left behind strong evidence of burying their dead and caring for their sick, but still had crude stone tools with no recognizable function.

When bear baiting occurred a stake was drove into the ground fairly deep and it was then anchored, so there would be no possible way for the bear or bull to escape.
