There’s a lot of things in this photo to comment on, so let’s get something going on here. You’ve all been too quiet lately!

    For sure! Just like now, we live pretty much anywhere we can find something to eat.

    The cave is not mandatory. 😄

    Just wanted to touch on a stereotype of our ancestors.

    Also no evidence of Neanderthals being dumb, it’s just the first guy to identify one felt they looked dumb… 😵‍💫

      they were making tools, probably as smart as we are. just a much lower technological head start.

      and there’s probably a fair bit of neanderthal DNA floating in the human genome. (its a bit… misleading to say europeans have 1-2%; there would have been substantial overlap)
