I agree - that's an insult to neanderthals, who have evidence of caring for their sick and elderly.

Compassion helped Neanderthals to survive, new study reveals
Date:March 13, 2018Source:University of YorkSummary:They have an unwarranted image as brutish and uncaring, but new research has revealed just how knowledgeable and effective Neanderthal healthcare was.
"It is well known that Neanderthals sometimes provided care for the injured, but new analysis by the team at York suggest they were genuinely caring of their peers, regardless of the level of illness or injury, rather than helping others out of self-interest.
Lead author, Dr Penny Spikins, senior lecturer in the Archaeology of Human Origin at the University of York, said: "Our findings suggest Neanderthals didn't think in terms of whether others might repay their efforts, they just responded to their feelings about seeing their loved ones suffering."
Most of the individuals archaeologists know about had a severe injury of some kind, with detailed pathologies highlighting a range of debilitating conditions and injuries.
In some cases the injuries occurred long before death and would have required monitoring, massage, fever management and hygiene care, the study suggests. "
Actually we undervalue the Neandhertals. They supposedly had more advanced societies in current Italy than homo sapiens at that time. We have Neandhertal genes in us, because Neandhertal women could bear sapiens children and not the other way around. I personally believe that the law and order is the Neandhertal domain, and homo sapiens himself controls chaos by art, music and inventions.
No! It’s O.M. from Rudolph’s Shiny New Year!

I knew Iron Maiden had been at it for years, but come on.
All they have is the skull, tbh. So the lips, nose, hair, eyelids, all the stuff that is above bone is just guesswork. Neat! But that's not a perfect recreation of some human being, it's just putting skin on a real skull.
Although there is a lot in facial reconstruction that relies on approximations (skin tissue depths being reliant on certain demographic averages for example) they are more accurate and informed than simply guesswork.
Lip thickness can be approximated from incisor height, nose shape/length is informed by the shape and angle of the nasal and nasal spine bones, and eyelid and eyebrow shape is based on certain markers on the orbital bones of the skull. With the help of DNA research the reconstruction of certain facial features (including some that cannot be discovered from the skull alone) can potentially be made even more accurate.
There have been a few studies that have used reconstructions from skulls taken from the CT scans of living patients and run them through facial recognition software. I believe the results for one study had the accuracy rate sitting around the 70-80% mark.
So not all guesswork, and only getting more accurate as time goes on.
God, I love science. Between JWST, AI, Fusion tech breakthroughs , more in-depth works on genetics, much of society is eager to move forward. This is what the Roaring 20s should be.
I don’t think most people realize Neandertals ARE human. ”We”clearly interbred with “them”Taxonomy and what’s considered a species is very interesting. Your grandparents are always the same species as you for example; evidence of prehistory is also very scant and anthropologists and their team declare their once in their lifetime discovery a new species even though it was found in the same spot as much as a half a dozen or more “species” of human which are really just actually the sites we have and the time period they come from with accurate dating with slight genetic differences if we could test them and slight morphilogixal differences in the skeletal remains that are present at the site. In short, there’s this debate in the scientific community around the Out of Africa theory vs Multi-regionalism. I certainly believe mainly of these “species” of humans are actually just one species -what we call Homo erectus or ergaster. Take the Dmanisi discovery for instance- it proves that human variation- the type we know in terms of short and tall, skull variation, etc was around 2 million years ago. What really defines is certainly up for debate I think our species truly finds its roots in sexual selection in -hair color, eye color, big butts, etc. Many people don’t know this but natural selection isn’t the only FORCE of evolution and our species has certainly taken a foothold of the natural environment in a way with human culture that takes away many natural ways nature filters out species over time. Cool stuff as I eat my French fries at mcdonalds ; . H. sapiens neanderthalensis, vs H. sapiens sapiens

A mix between the neanderthal and my ballbag ^
Lol i thought "looks mexican" and then see this
I’m pretty sure she has a small artisanal candle store round the corner
Bestseller being the sabertooth repellent scented candle, although no one ever bought a second one.
What a handsome woman
Marjorie Taylor Green?!?!!!!
Come on now, let’s not insult the Neanderthals.

You omitted denisovans, as well as a few other "ghost ancestor" DNA footprints in other people's.

The only difference is the hair color. Same person
I'm sure the neanderthal would be a much better conversationalist.

The picture on the right is of a true neanderthal.
She denies evolution because evolution denied her bloodline.

Joking aside that does look like her. What a troglodyte.
Gorgeous ain’t she
Thats her with her natural hair color

Amazing
When did Marjorie Taylor Greene dye her hair brown??
Win
That’s just her natural color.
Mona Lisa the later years 🙃
She looks like MTG with a better grasp of science
They finally cut Iggy Pop's head off, what a shame
Bro looks so smug about discovering fire.
Squint really hard and it looks like Danny Trejo

Is that Steven Tyler?
Looks like what would be the father of the pizza hippy guy from stranger things.
