What did Neanderthals accomplish?
Our friends at a politically themed board have a hard on for Neanderthals and the idea of them being more intellectually capable than Homo Sapiens.
So what exactly did they do? I mean, if they were better than us surely they had to do something other than eat, poop and breed?

Mostly crystals.
IIRC they had more sophisticated tools and social rituals. They lost because

Adapt or die lad
This thread again?
Don't you have enough of the ass pounding you got yesterday?
>their primary food source was disappearing
What would that be?
Nice contribution to the conversation!
OP take your shit to
This is a board about history, not myths and speculative legends.
The Mammoth and other large, herbivorous mammals
On top of they were badly outnumbered by homo sapiens from the start, and they eventually were bred into homo sapiens and out of existence.
We literally fucked them to death.
Think we ate a lot of them too
Some of our ancestors practiced cannibalism, or so we believe.

Where the fuck did you get this from? I go to /pol/ almost every day and I have literally never seen this posted. Shitpost where it belongs faggot.
>neanderthals were hairy ape men xD
They didn't have more sophisticated tools. But they probably invented the first musica instrument that wasn't a drum.
Don't asians have a high % of neanderthal dna compared to everyone else? yet pol hates asians?
is all ideology schizophrenic or is this just a symptom of post modernism
This is incorrect. They had good tools but they remained almost completely unchanged for thousands of years, whereas sapiens were constantly tinkering with and improving theirs
As for rituals almost nothing is known about their social structure. It used to be believed that they buried their dead with flowers but thats almost certainly not true
don't forget to sage and hide the thread
