Besides introducing new concepts (vocal, sexuality, blizzards, predators, gathering, portals, neolexia, Wanderlust, precondition tools, and maturity), Neanderthal uses different disk management ( B3 ), a new Fire Starter ( D4 ), and novel costing for promotion ( E2 ), marriage ( E3 ), and elder actions ( I3 ). Greenland is also in the Dominata series, and so uses many of the same rules, mechanisms, and components. If text on a play aid contradicts these rules, the rules have precedence.

Just what had they been doing with all that brainpower that had not manifested itself in a single new tool or behavior change detectable in the archeological record? This game suggests they were perfecting their language skills to a threshold point that opened portal s between brain domains and enabled lingual fluidity. And this revolution spread from one human species to another, each of whom had enjoyed large brains for a hundred thousand years without any prior cultural activity. The Archaics, Neanderthals, and recently-arrived Cro-Magnons, who had never before left any record of art, religion, ritual, or science, and who had not altered their handaxe technology in a million years, suddenly exploded in a flurry of cave paintings, body adornments, carved venus figures, musical instruments, intentional burials, and new portable tools.
