Evolution is a pretty interesting subject. Thoughts?

 

    We've already spoken about an origin's of life subject, unfortunately it didn't go too well. However, there is new evidence that suggest that neanderthals were not as "human" as we tend to think or have been depicted as. I suggest checking out Them and Us, a book that depicts the neanderthals as bloodthirsty savage like apes. More like Sasquatches than humans who hunted humans down, ate them and raped women. They are extinct now because the humans hunted them down because of how bloodthirsty and monstrous they were. This also would make sense and explain the origins of our own genetic fear of hairy monsters that are watching you in the woods, or in the darkness. And our strange obsession with hairy ape like men taking our women for breeding (much like King Kong, or the legends of Sasquatches, there are many stories and movies in Hollywood depicting ape men abducting women).


    Another theory also claims that neanderthals were not a "different" species at all, but were rather human beings who had aged to be well over 500 years old. A theory that is backed by the aging process of humans, becoming shorter, fatter, forehead expanding among other notable traits. They explain the reason why they died out is because humans do not age that way anymore or do not live past 100, generally speaking.

Edit:

  Unfortunately no one knows for sure, we can only speculate with what limited knowledge and evidence we have on the matter.

 Huh I had no idea about that Sal, thanks for sharing! I thought his work was unprecedented and revolutionary in the eyes of our understanding of neanderthals. But I myself have only read articles, watched youtube videos/reviews and listened to podcasts about it. I haven't actually gotten to read it myself. Just curious Sal, have you read it and if so what did you think about it (besides the articles you shared). I thought the idea was at least plausible. 

I had never heard of the man before you mentioned him. Personally I think Elaine Morgan's 'Aquatic Ape' theory seems more plausible than this. It's sensationalism.
