“Brain size correlates to IQ. Neanderthals had bigger brains the we do.”
If that were true, whales would be the most intelligent creatures on earth.

I’m reminded of Paul Reiser’s joke about Neanderthals in heaven, groaning that the one doofus in the tribe was the one the archeologists dug up: “And guess who they base our whole civilization on! Howie! Remember him, that loser? With the bad teeth, and the stoop, and that huge unibrow? Aw jeez...”

"If that were true, whales would be the most intelligent creatures on earth." Maybe you're not smart enough to recognize that they are?

Next question,
If “Neanderthals” were stronger and smarter than we, Why are we the survivors?

Necessary to adjust that to apply only to primate brains. Whales are pretty stupid when you get right down to it and their brains are constructed differently.

Do you know if they used throwing sticks to enhance the effectiveness of their spears?

Brain size correlates to IQ. Neanderthals had bigger brains the we do. Accomplishment correlates better to IQ. Neanderthal flint tools never progressed. They remained extremely crude, while homosapien tools evolved into finer and finer instruments.

“Although our ancestors”
I thought I’d read numerous times from several different sources that Neanderthals share no common DNA with modern Humans...has this changed recently?
To: blam
...Neanderthals had previously been thought of as incapable of innovation, said Dr Hopkinson, as it was assumed to be something unique to Homo sapiens...We all know what happens when you assume. Anyway, it's only a matter of time before we recognize Neanderthal men as "men".
