Bump.
They dead now so it doesn't matter
i would like to see a homo sapiens-neanderthal confrontation irl
>After comparing the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) with that of other archaic and modern humans, the researchers reached a startling conclusion: A female member of the lineage that gave rise toHomo sapiensin Africa mated with a Neandertal male more than 220,000 years ago—much earlier thanother known encountersbetween the two groups. Her children spread her genetic legacy through the Neandertal lineage, and in time her African mtDNA completely replaced the ancestral Neandertal mtDNA.
"Their eyes met across the rugged mountain landscape of prehistoric Romania.
He was a Neanderthal, and stark naked apart from a fur cape. He had good posture and pale skin, perhaps reddened slightly with sunburn. Around one of his thick, muscular biceps he wore bracelet of eagle-talons. She was an early modern human, clad in an animal-skin coat with a wolf-fur trim. She had dark skin, long legs, and her hair was worn in braids.
He cleared his throat, looked her up and down, and – in an absurdly high-pitched, nasal voice – deployed his best chat-up line. She stared back blankly. Luckily for him, they didn’t speak the same language. They had an awkward laugh and, well, we can all guess what happened next."
neanderthals were actually smarter than humans
What makes you think that
Bigger brains for a start.
white people have the highest neanderthal DNA percentage in their blood and they're the smartest race
Ok so the elephants are smarter than humans according to your standard.
east asian have more neanderthal dna in them not by a lot but they do
Their skull was larger at the back and underdeveloped at the front. Their cognitive abilities were probably worse. The reason their brain is so big is because of their improved eyesight mostly (big back of heads and eyes).
Causation =/= correlation.
they have less neural connections despite the bigger volume of the brain
This is nonsense
>Causation =/= correlation.
reddit sentence lol
Either way it's not true. ALL neanderthal genes we have today are "junk" dna. Basically non-important. Modern humans have 20% of the Neanderthal genome at total procentages raging from 0-5%. Interestingly enough, genes connected to brain function and genitalia have no neanderthal variables. Indicating those genes were selected out, they were NOT smarter than us.
What seems to matter more in general (for comparison across species) for cognitive ability than simply the size of the brain is, mysteriously, the brain-to-body-mass ratio. Neanderthals were thickly built.
He said ' bigger' not 'more connected'
I once heard that Neanderthal genes could be responsible for autism
Doubtful. Brain function variables are rare or absent.
Abos have a lot of neanderthal in them too.
