      @Smruti Smarak assume? they had been around for much longer than we did but they were still not more technologically advanced (back then) they are not like us, they are not smart like us so obviously they would never advance technologically like us. You don't have to be a genius to know that

      NEANDERTHALS had the same weakness as the Dinosaurs they shared the same environment with.They did not eat vegetables or fat free food which made their diet poor and monotonous. A poor diet may have spelt their demise the same way dinosaurs were.

      Homo sapiens were more advanced than Neanderthals. My homo sapiens ancestors had babies with Neanderthals. Those babies inherited the "most violent genes" from the Neanderthals. Those babies repopulated Europe after Neanderthals died off, that is why according to current statistics, Europeans are the most violent people on this Earth. European descents in North America and Europeans in Europe have fought and continue to instigate and fight the largest number of wars on this Earth more than non-white people.

    From my research, their strength and bulkiest ended up being part of their demise. Neanderthals stature encouraged them to hunt with brute force while Sapiens fought at a distance with spears/bows, proving to be much more effective and safer. Sapiens also tended to fight in larger groups and were more social, building onto our species longevity.

    • @Seegie16
      @Seegie16 2 года назад +25

      Thats is 1 of a few reasons. The main reason though is the fact that they were greatly out populated by sapiens that could breed with Neanderthal women, but Neanderthal men could not impregnate sapien women. So over a span of a few thousand years they were absorbed into our species

    • @Gingagirl
      @Gingagirl 2 года назад

      Men always imagine war and violence - but neanderthals were probably slow on reproduction. A neanderthal mother could only bear offspring each 3-5 years - compared to humans 0.5 .5 years after the last birth.

      actually, in prehistoric times, the human height average was the same as it is today. It was only once people left their hunter-gatherer lifestyle for farming that the heights became shorter. Farming did help create civilizations, but in general, people had poorer nutrition than when they were hunter-gatherers.

    a quick note on semantics only--was an excellent video. Evolution did not "build them to be sturdy". no life since the big bang ever made a conscious decision to "adapt and improve to adjust to their environment". They had various mutations from birth and those that had good ones survived to breed. Its nothing more than that. Those that lived further north in bad conditions likely got "ran there" as is common to this day. The Eskimo paradox was the same "why didnt they go south to the sun?" THEY TRIED--but encountered a race of what they called giants that killed them.

    My anthropology teacher has been constantly stressing that there is no proof that Neanderthals displayed symbolic behavior such as art and culture. It's very hard to pinpoint who made those cave drawing and necklaces. Maybe I'm just gullibly believing my teacher (30+ years of anthro experience in the field and teaching) but you can't believe everything out there. It's human nature to be certain about discoveries, even if you really have no idea what you're looking at

    It's nice to see National Geographic actually acknowledging what has been known for over a decade. I suppose it's difficult to that from the start when most of your articles argued against
    it for so long.
    The articles were always very informative on these simple hominids with their simple fur dresses hunting mammoths in 3' ft of snow and bare legs. I guess they still retained
    a lot of fur yet. I know that's how the artists rendition always showed them .
    And yet they made weapons , cooking utensils , fire and buried their dead and so forth.
    Not to worry though , where always finding a piece of jawbone with a molar from there or a finger bone from here that seems to raise a lot of confusion among paleontologists
    and offers endless possibilities for a multitude of new thesis's on human origins.
    On another note , always loved National Geographic with it's many amazing articles and fantastic photo's. Unfortunately . most articles that pertain to evolutionary science fall short
    and are usually only speculative at best.

    Shouldn't one of the cold adaptations have been significant body hair to help survive the cold? Like the other creatures of the area, woolly rhino and such. Neanderthals probably looked like humanish gorillas.
    H. sapien brains are wired differently from those of the Neanderthal.
    Short in stature, with large jaws, sloping foreheads, and barrel chests. And likely lots of hair for the cold climate.
    Native Americans, and South Americans have an even higher percentage of Neanderthal DNA in their DNA genealogy than Europeans.
