Just because Neanderthal is extinct does not mean he was dumber than us.The brain of homosapiens expanded during the ice age. Neanderthal lived in the coldest parts of Europe. His brain was considerably larger than the brain of modern humans. They were probably more intelligent than humans. They were the first humanoids to have burial rights. I hope they clone the Neanderthals. Mensa members would need to get jobs cleaning out the waste paper baskets of Neanderthals.

Just because Neanderthal is extinct does not mean he was dumber than us.

Where in the article did you find the assertion that the Neanderthal died out because he was "dumber than us"? While I'm sure that intelligence played a role in his demise, this article makes no such claim.

His brain was considerably larger than the brain of modern humans. They were probably more intelligent than humans.

Increased brain size does not necessarily lead to greater intellectual complexity. With a weight of 4500 grams, the brain of the elephant is 3000 grams larger than that of the human. Does this mean that an elephant is more intellectually capable than you or me?

They were the first humanoids to have burial rights. I hope they clone the Neanderthals. Mensa members would need to get jobs cleaning out the waste paper baskets of Neanderthals.
