If you’re interested...I found this an informative and entertaining series of lectures.

Pure BS.

Such long returns of conjecture from such small investment in facts.

This fake "science" is 99% opinion from people who panic at the thought of a real job. And have never produced anything truly useful.

Most “researchers” are paid minions for globalism.

Most “research” is complete garbage.

Come to think of it, this seems like a sensible take on the matter.

After all, dogs, cats, wolves, lions, and just about every other animal treat their young with loving care. So, why wouldn’t Neanderthals?

I think the earlier view of the matter was simply another brainless bow to Darwin and his “survival of the fittest.”

Sure, there is survival of the fittest, which leads to evolution within any species. (Whether general evolution accounts for all life forms is another matter, not really relevant here.) But that doesn’t mean that parents have to be cruel to their kids. That’s not necessary for the basic principal to work.

And they never told their children no.

All societies were/are superior to contemporary America.

Because, racists, oil and climate change.

Neanderthals Roamed As Far As Siberia
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1904573/posts
New Scientist ^ | 9-30-2007 | Roxanne Khamsi
"Researchers say the genetic sequence of an adolescent Neanderthal found in southern Siberia closely matches that of Neanderthals found in western Europe, suggesting that this close relative of modern humans migrated very long distances."

Siberian Graveyard's Secret (More Redheads)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1053986/posts
International Herald Tribune ^ | 1-8-2003
"In a medieval Siberian graveyard a few miles south of the Arctic Circle, Russian scientists have unearthed mummies roughly 1,000 years old, clad in copper masks, hoops and plates - burial rites that archaeologists say they have never seen before...In the remains of a metalworking shop, the researchers excavated a wooden sarcophagus with the best-preserved mummy of all, a red-haired man covered chest to foot in copper plate and laid out with an iron hatchet, well-preserved furs and a bronze bear's head buckle."

Neanderthals were altogether a great, great group of people.

Evolutionists used to tell a quite different story about neanderthals. And if you didn’t believe it, you were a science-denier.
