“It is the last nail in the coffin for the hypothesis that Neanderthals were cognitively inferior to modern humans,”
Just as I suspected. We’re stupider than previously thought.
As one of the few remaining non-muslim Neanderthals, I’m tired of being the brunt of tasteless jokes insinuating our supposed intellectual inferiority.
We’re just challenged in a few cognitive areas—like “cause and effect” or “action and reaction” and mechanics— stuff like that.
On the other hand, we’re just as good, if not better than you at the important tasks: eating, copulating, hunting and gathering, etc.
