The understanding I've had has been that cro magnons had a more agile palate and bigger sinuses, allowing for more versatility of spoken language - not any language, just spoken language. This allowed for more versatility in the field and a more complex social structure simply because of a deeper lexicon. I haven't seen "neandertals were stupid" since maybe 2nd grade.
