Necessity compelled Neanderthals to wear tailored clothing and dry hunks of big game meat, according to a new study on the survival needs of these now-extinct prehistoric humans.

Additional new research by Sorensen determined these sophisticated, rough-and-ready humans probably started to go extinct around 35,000 years ago due to diseases carried by modern humans, with whom they coexisted and may have mated with at the time.

Well, this should be a message. No mating with more-evolved humans!

I see several holes in these theories. The first being that most recently, DNA sequenced from a Neanderthal shows that, while close, interbreeding with Homo Sapiens likely did not take place for the last 100,000 years of the Neanderthal existence.
Another theory is that Neanderthal were adapted more for cold weather, Homo Sapiens for hot weather. A sinus protrusion has been found in the sinus cavity of the Neanderthal which would have slowed and warmed air as it was inhaled. But in warm weather, it would have resulted in perpetual sinus infection.
The metabolisms of the two creatures would have been considerably different as well.

Additional new research by Sorensen determined these sophisticated, rough-and-ready humans probably started to go extinct around 35,000 years ago due to diseases carried by modern humans, with whom they coexisted and may have mated with at the time. And thus the argument that Neanderthals actually invented a primitive form of time travel was advanced....

“with whom they coexisted and may have mated with at the time.”
May? Think Pelosi.

They mean biologically modern humans, not modern humans in a temporal 21st century sense.
Biologically modern humans have existed for around 100,000 years. If Neanderthals went extinct 35,000 or so years ago, that is a long time for both Neanderthals and (anatomically) modern humans to coexist.

You ruined my vision of cave people looking like Barbara Bach in a fur bikini. Thanks allot.

Note to self: Don’t make jerky out of mammoth meat, could cause extiction of human race.
