"We have evidence of healthcare dating back 1.6 million years ago, but we think it probably goes further back than this. We wanted to investigate whether healthcare in Neanderthals was more than a cultural practice; was it something they just did or was it more fundamental to their strategies for survival?
"The high level of injury and recovery from serious conditions, such as a broken leg, suggests that others must have collaborated in their care and helped not only to ease pain, but to fight for their survival in such a way that they could regain health and actively participate in the group again."
It is generally accepted that more than 80% of the skeletal remains known to archaeologists display several injuries, some of which may have required simple remedies, such as food and rest, and others that would have required serious levels of care due to a high risk to life.

There was no man prior to Adam.
University error is denying God and claiming kinship to apes! Repent!

Snip.. {Neanderthals could hold objects between finger and thumb, just like we would hold a pen, because their hands were more nimble than anyone thought.}
If they were so smart why did they totally disappear? Aliens?
You’re being sarcastic right? :)
If not...ok then... :)
They were just another human group.
When we blow each other to smithereens with Nukes I wonder if that’s what whomever is here will say about us in 50,000 years :)
First healthcare provider, Og who hit everything with a rock. I didn’t say he was good at it. First healthcare plan, stop Og.
Obama care.

May be they just got fed up with homo sapiens sapiens and left for a better clime

They will probably say:
“They never existed! God created the earth in 60,928! Repent!”
Neanderthals were doing just fine. But then they said, this healthcare is really great, but wouldn't it be better if it were Free? And thus began their decline into extinction.
They were like us in intelligence and had to be. Their term as humans lasted longer than ours has. They lived in very harsh climatic conditions and hunted large and dangerous prey. They disappeared because we killed them off.
Because their replacements were the world masters of organized violence.
Awaiting the next gov grant to study if early man breathed oxygen.
Global warming. Republicans. Plastic straws. Lack of acceptance of transgendered people. Cigarette smoking. Gun violence. Ozone depletion. Not having on-campus Safe Spaces. Genetically modified foods. Restrictive attitudes about binary genders. Nuclear emissions from Fukushima plant. Sexual assaults in High School. Bedbugs. The plastic patch in the Pacific ocean. Being triggered. White nationalists. Fat shaming. Capitalism.
They didn't disappear. They interbred. White Europeans have Neanderthal genes. Black Africans have no Neanderthal DNA.
Because they didn't totally disapppear, they're among the many different ancestors to people currently living on Earth.
