Would you mind if the world ended?

[The United Provinces of North America]

We'd just have to stop you from clubbing people who are annoying first.

You have to stop me from clubbing period. Or else there won't be and ladies left for the rest of you.

Lmao.

[New haven america]

Yes, especially among those of European and Asian/American descent.

Also, it's been proven that most features that Cro Magnons, Neanderthals, etc... had, were actually over exaggerations and taken from bones of specimens who tended to be much older than usual.

Neanderthals are noticable, especially in features. Stocky and broad boned. Shorter than Homo sapiens.

Again, the only reason you think that is because scientists were using bones from older individuals.

Younger Neanderthal bones look almost indistinguishable from modern human bones.

[Senkaku]

Yup. And yet if you put me in a suit, I could ride metro transit all day without getting a second glance.

We have to stop everyone from doing that already

Again with the guy who thought space travel was easy, and there's differences look at some skulls. Separate specie's, broader bones, short, stocky, stronger than modern man.

Separate species? How did Neanderthal DNA get into our genome?

[Geneviev]

I would definitely miss music if the world ended. But at the same time, if humans keep doing things that we know are eventually going to cause the end of the world, we do kind of deserve it.

[Arthenius]

The humans that are alive billions of years into the future will look nothing like today.

I doubt humans will be around by then

Look, it's known that if one buys a house, each year the chances of catastrophe striking your shelter increases by a very small amount so it's compounded in 30 or 50 years.

Early Europeans/Asians got it on with Neanderthals and produced viable offspring.

Which actually did help Europeans and Asians to acclimate and adapt to the colder temps of Europe and Northern/Himalayan Asia.

Same genus, separate specie's. Homo sapiens interbred with Homo neanderthalensis.

The way humans define "species" is weird, and depends how much chauvinism we apply to that branch. Neanderthals are a separate species because we like to pretend we're somehow significantly different or wiser than they were.

Different species produce sterile offspring.

Human egos may create definitions but they don't alter the underlying science, monsieur.

Brain size doesn't mean anything, by that logic Sperm Whale would be the smartest species. Plus you can tell differences.

If Neanderthals were around today would we still consider them a different species? More importantly how would Ug the Car Dealer cope with the existential crisis like the end of our world?

[Senkaku]

Yeah I think the usual classification for us and them is subspecies? Sapiens sapiens and sapiens neanderthalensis?

So how did Neanderthal DNA get in you? You literally contradicted yourself.

Yes, due to DNA.

I didn't. We're not "separate species," that was my point.

Genus: Homo

Yep, they're a subspecies or offshoot of humanity.

[Quebec-Libre]

I don't see why I wouldn't mine. It's something out of my control, so if it happens, I'll probably dead before the actual survivors are identified.

[Aureumterra]

They weren’t the brightest

Piffle. "H. sapiens neanderthalensis" and "H. neanderthalensis" are equally acceptable.

Yes, due to DNA.

That really doesn't answer the question.

Their intelligence was actually pretty similar to that of what became modern humans.

Only real difference is that our stamina levels are stupidly high and persistent compared to other species, probably even the highest our of any species in the world.
