Neanderthals Listened to the World Much Like Us
The New York Times ^ | March 1, 2021 | Sabrina Imbler

If you were somehow able to travel back in time some 130,000 years and chance upon a Neanderthal, you might find yourself telling them about some of humanity’s greatest inventions, such as spanakopita and TikTok. The Neanderthal would have no idea what you were saying, much less talking about, but they might be able to hear you perfectly, picking up on the voiceless consonants “t,” “k” and “s” that appear in many modern human languages

Wasn't going to post this as anything until biden mentioned them. Article also goes on to state that they had the possibility to speak. This all means that they weren't as dumb a biden thinks they are.

Those guys listened BETTER than we do, since the speakers didn’t wear masks.

People of European stock often have a large amount of Neanderthal genes, 2% to 5% is not uncommon.

Which goes to prove that back then -- like now -- some people would jump anything.

That’s pretty bad for biden when an entire race decided to stop existing rather than put up with him and the Ho running things. No wonder he hates them. So he has to take it out on us.

They thought they could co-exist with Cro-Magnon.

First victims of genocide - much worse than what happened under the Nazis. I demand reparations for those of us of northern European heritage that still carry their proud DNA in their bodies. Let the Asiatics and Africans and those from such bloodlines pay up.

“There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.”

Put lipstick on a Neanderthal honey, and a skimpy bearskin, she might a been a real hottie.

Yeah, but who got on to who?

Also, if they could hear language sounds equally well, did they discuss finishing sausage sandwiches?

Are these the original Neanderthals...or the conservative variant?

Of course they could speak. The artifacts they left behind showed them to be every bit as intelligent as we are. A species doesn’t get that way unless it’s capable of abstract communication.

Your Neanderthal thread brought up an old graphic I created.

When McCain was running with Palin, I developed a graphic I called
the Ascent of Man.

The idea was that under McCain/Pain, humans would continue to grow,
their intelligence increasing.

It was my take, that if Obama was elected, we would see the intelligence
of man decline significantly. IMO < we saw that very thing.

We saw the standing of man regress during the Obama years. You'll
note my graphic displays that, with things improving after his term
ended. And again, I think that is basically what happened.

Now here we are in 2021, and the record needs to reflect that man
has again started on the decline pathway.

My old graphic doesn't reflect that.

It's none the less true.

Note the depiction of where Civilization would be in the year
2010 under the two teams running in 2008.

There is good cause to believe we are now in Obama's third term.

Say what you will about the Neanderthals, but at least they knew the difference between males and females.
