When
Scientific American featured a Neanderthal head on its cover for
February 2015 featuring a claim to be able to look into the mind of
the 39,000 year extinct human cousin it reminded me of the hanging
chad fallacy wherein select partisan vote counters could claim to
know if a voter had intended to cast the ballot for Bush or Gore. The
entire article though quite interesting does seem to evolve around
the idea that the Neanderthal brain inferiority made it a ready
takeover target for modern humans kicked out of Africa because of
piracy and embezzlement of food (I made those points up for
mind-reading of history purposes).
As
much as 70% of the Neanderthal genome exists in 'bits and pieces' in
modern European ancestry humans. As N.A.T.O. looks to make permanent
annexation of the Dniepr River drain that is historically part of
Russia, it can use the of Neanderthals replaced by humans as a
paradigm for the inferiority of the brains of Russians that don't
know history as well as people in D.C. Humans were not just
aggressive killers in taking over the Ukraine from the local
Neanderthals-they were superior beings with highly evolved brains
better suited for language and complex social skills such as
embezzling, insider trading, historical revisionism, and so forth.
There
are many technical points to consider regarding the inferiority of
the Neanderthal. The Neanderthal brains seem to be a little larger
than humans, yet so are whales and whales historically have been used
for glue making, candles for whatever so that doesn't mean much.
Plainly the FOXP2 gene may have been profuse in humans compare to
Neanderthal, and CNTNAP2 replication or doupleeganger genes vis
human-Neanderthal may have been lacking. Yet it could have been
something like smallpox or disease that killed off Neanderthal-much
the way diseases that American Indians had no immunity to decimated
their population. Maybe Neanderthals were victims of one of the first
interracial biological wars in additions to being clubbed, hacked and
ambushed by invading peoples from the south. Raping, looting and
killing unsuspecting Neanderthals/settlements from the South and West
may have been like later Mongol attacks on Russia from the East. At
least Napoleon and Hitler were comparatively gentlemen in that
regard.
