Neanderthals: Our Relatives From the North

Better Than Human

Neanderthals are an extinct species of archaic humans who lived to about 40,000 years ago. Neanderthals left Africa, while modern humans stayed behind. They interbred with an unidentified human species and then were ‘replaced’ by modern humans. Neanderthals most likely went extinct due to interbreeding with homo sapiens, climatic change, disease, or a combination of all these factors.
It’s almost spooky month, get excited everyone! This October we have a banger line up. We have the Villisca Axe Murder House, recorded in the actual Murder House. We have Bigfoot, not recorded with an actual Bigfoot. We have Mermaids (Merpeople) recorded in costume. We have the Addams Family, I personally have reached out to Christina Ricci, and she will not be guest starring. And if you’re lucky, another bonus Halloween Episode. This is Halloween Month, the best Month!
The Good The Bad The News, Carbon factory built to suck carbon from the sky (the good), and racism is alive and well in Ohio (the bad).
Upon the discovery of Neanderthals, they were depicted as slouching, ape-like, and not closely related to modern humans. This was due to the Piltdown Man and racism. Neanderthals true evolutionary history was not understood until as late as the 1960s.
Yes, Neanderthals were physically built differently than modern humans, and yes, we interbreed. The gene for red hair might have even come from Neanderthals gene.
