Holy shit.

What advantages did short forearms give them?
>>
>>18480958
there's no evidence to suggest they'd be smarter than modern humans. they were intellectually on par with the homo sapiens of their age.

>superior to modern man in every way

DEFINE «MODERN MAN».


>smarter

NOT REALLY; NEANDERTHALS WERE ONLY MORE CUNNING WHEN IT CAME TO HUNTING, AND HAD BETTER NIGHT VISION, AND STRONGER OLFACTORY SENSE, THAN HUMANS.


>stronger

YES, LIKE MANY ANIMALS NOW ARE STRONGER THAN HUMANS; BEING STRONGER DOES NOT MAKE SOMEONE BETTER.


>faster

SAME LOGIC AS ABOVE.


>only lost the evolutionary arms race because they raped us so much they went extinct

I. «US»?

II.THEY BECAME EXTINCT, BECAUSE THEY WERE MERE BEASTS, UNLIKE HUMANS; HUMANS ANNIHILATED THEM, BECAUSE THEY WERE PREDATORY MONSTERS; MISCEGENATION BETWEEN NEANDERTHALS, AND HUMANS, WAS SPORADIC, NOT SYSTEMATIC AND MASSIVE SO AS TO HAVE CAUSED NEANDERTHAL EXTINCTION, WHICH WOULD HAVE CAUSED, ALSO, HUMAN EXTINCTION.

LEARN HOW TO THINK.

There actually exists quite a bit of evidence for Neanderthal stupidity. The two things I remember by heart are:

A: They had large visual systems and were specialized for such abilities, which left less of the brain available for other processes. Adjusting for this along with their greater mass would actually give them significantly smaller cc than Sapiens.

B: They lacked the modern TLK1 gene, which is responsible for greater neurogenesis in the neocortex, with the frontal area being most affected.

I believe they also had a gene associated with faster neurogenesis that resulted in more errors, which definitely would've had negative impacts on their intelligence.

It's worth mentioning that they were explosive; we stamina mogged them.

No art can be soundly associated with them (though they probably did have *something* of that sort). They had no needles; their clothes were just animal skins they draped over their bodies. They didn't establish trade routes for superior materials, though they likely did trade opportunistically. Their technology was weak; even the Khoisan could destroy them if they set their mind to it. They didn't even have the bow; their skeletons are *all* beat up due to low-group size forcing women to hunt and preffering to fight close-quarters.

sapiens
>only more cunning when it came to hunting and specialized olfactory sense
wrong, extreme understatement. they had brain sizes comparable to ours if not larger on average.
>being stronger does not make someone better
were we talking about morality or physical superiority
>same logic as above
lol keep dodging the point
>sporadic
undeniably happened enough to where most people of non-african descent carry neanderthal dna...lol you think it was consensual???
>we annihilated them
LOL.
>>
>>18480958
>>smarter
Their technology and art (if it existed) wers both stagnant for hundreds of.thousands of years
>>
The had less friends and were less vapid so they became incels and lost evolution
Humans are horrible creatures they invented lookism and social exclusion
>>
Neanderthals were pretty ritualistic and had a developed sense of symbolism which translated to art.

If anything, they are the prometheus that gave humanity fire.

But I think they were autistic.

>>18480958
How do i get a Neanderthals wife? Use time travel machine?

Speculative. They definitely made art, but we can't confidently attribute anything to them due to fact that there were definitely failed/dead OOA populations.
>>
>>18482026
We have Neanderthal genomes, so they can be cloned.

>>18480965
They had huge Popeyes arms and could literally wrestle animals TO DEATH. Untrained they could deadlift 600+ pounds.

Neanderthals never invented the needle, (thus they had no clothes) bow and arrows or even the spear thrower or domesticated the dog and I remember reading an article about archeologists excavating a riverside garbage midden where they found salmon bones but discovered there would be years where Neanderthals ate tons of salmon yet other years where they barely ate any, despite salmon running in the same river at the same time every year.

A theory is that Neanderthals couldn't really grasp the concept of time, not understanding the salmon would be there next year and the year after etc. missing out on a very valuable food source and they instead simply wandered the countryside after clearing the game out of the local area.

Blacks hate Neanderthals because they somehow were more advanced then them.
Also blacks share up to like 16% with their own ghost lineage. Can't wait for it to be some Australopithecus tier homonid.

> Blacks hate Neanderthals because they somehow were more advanced then them.
Objectively incorrect and by many light-years.

> up to like 16%
It was 2-19%, with ~7% being suggested as the true average. This also exists in Eurasians; it's probably just Homo Heidelbergensis, the common ancestor of Sapiens and Neandersovans.
>>
>>18482634
Absolute savages.
> (thus they had no clothes)
I'm pretty sure they knew how to drape themselves in animal hides, but nothing more. Tools associated with such activities have been found at sites associated with them.
>>
>manlets
it was so over
>>
>>18482691
No its not, Heidelbergensis didnt live near the Subsaharan they lived North Africa and the Near East. We also know what Heidelbergensis would probably look like and its not what Sub Saharans have.
Face it DeVon3 you're people couldn't even make a wheel.
>>
>>18482882
>you're
they just didn't need it japan didn't use the wheel either despite knowing about it
