But, did Neanderthals give equal rights to same-sex couples, and did they limit their carbon footprints? And what about that hunting; did they use only properly registered weapons, and remember to use trigger locks when not in use?
“But, did Neanderthals give equal rights to same-sex couples”
Perhaps they did, subsequently failed to have babies, and thus died out.
On that topic, I’ve read that Neaderthal females were almost as large as the males and their bones generally bear the same kind of injuries as males, presumably related to hunting and war.
One hypothesis is that the homo sapien sapiens “fragile” (cough) female who stayed back and the cave and had lots of babies, while the neaderthal females got themselves killed, thus getting outbred.
A lesson from which Western Civilization should learn.
