:^) The average figure for Neandertal DNA is about the same as each of our great-great-great-great-grandcestors, and of course that's based on reliance on very few surviving samples.

I hate how archeologists always presume the worst about the people who came before us.
Why would they think that prehistoric mothers would not treat their babies well.
Heck, I’ve seen animals treat their babies better than far too many humans.
I seriously doubt that pre-historic mothers aborted their unborn children for convenience sake
Now they just slaughter them wholesale before and even after birth.
See how far they’ve progressed since the Stone Age? 🤪
Actually, every baby found buried is a baby that died.
I suppose the professor means that the *number* of babies who died does not provide information about the *percentage* of babies who died rather than survived past infancy.

Yup.
