"Somewhere between 45,000 and 35,000 years ago, early humans came along." Humans came along only 40,000 or so years ago? What did we come from?

Neanderthals are not human?? I guess they are apes then, huh? If they are neither, that only leaves the “missing link”, and I don’t recall them being called that.

“Neanderthal” is a term of abuse often employed by liberals to condemn conservatives.
I’d like to propose a new theory. The Neanderthals died out because they were liberals.
Perhaps they expected their dogs to do all the work for them, and the dogs finally revolted in disgust.

The cause, some theories go, may have been environmental, with Neanderthals' decline a byproduct of -- yikes -- climate change. Always gotta work in some climate change propaganda, no matter how ludicrous and out-of-place.

But liberals didn’t die out. They are as tenacious as rats.

I still rely on dogs to keep Neaderthals out of my house.

What happened? What went so wrong for the Neanderthals -- and what went so right for us humans? I would think it is rather obvious. The Neanderthals chose to follow the path to Socialism while the humans chose the way of capitalism. History is about to repeat itself!!!

The muzzies are the new Neandrathals. They don’t get along with dogs either.
To: Theoria
This theory actually makes a little sense.
Although, I prefer the theory that Neandertals were the descendents of Cain, and got wipe out in the Flood.
Or maybe they were the Nephilim.
Or maybe after they got a look at the Cro-Magnon, the Neanderthal males just couldn’t get it going with their own females. No, that couldn’t be it. They were men

Sure, but we know there were survivors after the flood.

“The Neanderthals died out because they were liberals.”
I agree. The Neanderthals embraced the god of Diversity At Any Cost and eventually found themselves destroyed by the very people they celebrated.
