Blacks actually have very little Neaderthal DNA in them.
It’s mostly Europeans and Middle East.
And there is zero evidence Neaderthals were less intelligent than homo sapien sapiens. To the contrary, their brains were larger.
They were likely smart enough to live and thrive alone or in small familial groups which unfortunately left them vulnerable to being killed off by the larger tribes of homosapiens that came along.
“And there is zero evidence Neaderthals were less intelligent than homo sapien sapiens. To the contrary, their brains were larger.”
As someone with a lot of Neaderthal it sounds like these scientists have pea brains.
Appeal to authority is a well known useful fallacy...
As are old recycled absurd totally discredited myths.
