Just my brain alas, I used to be flawless at spelling when I was younger and as I've gotten older it's gotten steadily worse, and I'm not sure if it is because I have more words to remember or if my brain is just dying.

Same. I just reckon I'm becoming more Elizabethan with age, that there Shakespeare couldn't even spell his own name the same way consistently.

I like the hypothesis that neanderthals may have been individually larger and smarter but they were far less social and therefore less adaptable. Like a big Joe Rogan being taken down by a dozen small Alexandrias Ocasio-Cortez. Subscribe to my Patreon for more fan art.

Neanderthal derail slight return.Albinator posted:I like this idea quite a lot, except I think those big old guys would be a chill bunch and not bad tempered trolls. I reckon that just like us they had the whole spectrum of individual character types. Some would have been totally chill and cool, others complete raging arseholes. Stories, being about drama, would focus on more extreme encounters so we don't get as many about, "that time we hung out and sang songs with the big dudes". There are some stories with helpful trolls and giants too. JoylessJester posted:If you're of European or Asian background you have 1-3 percent neanderthal DNA. Lunar Suite posted:Peer-reviewed bastion of scientific integrity 23AndMe told me I have more Neanderthan DNA than 99.5% of their customers. Yeah. Embrace your Neanderthal heritage! We used to think the "very pale does-not-suntan skin with red hair" phenotype most common in western and northern Europe was a Neanderthal trait but I think that has changed now. As someone with a six foot, chalk-white with freckles, flaming red haired mother I'd like it to be true. What I don't know is if the genetic markers we have for them are mainly mitochondrial (female line) or Y chromosome (male line) or an equal mix. If the mixing has a bias one way or the other it would have ramifications for how we picture it happening. Guavanaut posted:I like the hypothesis that neanderthals may have been individually larger and smarter but they were far less social and therefore less adaptable. Don't know about the smarter, they do have a larger average brain size but that's a poor proxy for measuring intelligence. They were probably cognitively different (different but equal imo), e.g. their sites are far less structured than contemporary early anatomically modern ones. Moderns tend to have discreet areas for different things (make tools here, rubbish goes here, food prep here etc.) while Neanderthals seem to have just done anything anywhere in a big mess. (so yes, proto-goons  )They were definitely social, we have sites with carefully (tenderly even) buried remains, sometimes with multiple individuals over time. This famous dude Shanidar I also proves that they looked after their own since he lived to a fair age despite some pretty severe disabilities. Cool fact, we have more evidence for pre anatomically modern hominins looking after each other than we do for hominin on hominin violence. Our distant ancestors were nice guys and gals. Funnily enough "a big Joe Rogan being taken down by a dozen small Alexandrias Ocasio-Cortez" is a drat good description of how we think Neanderthals hunted. We have no strong evidence for them having projectile weapons, there may be some possible wooden spear points now but I'm not up-to-date. This has big implications for how the hell they hunted the big animals that we know they did. Trinkaus and his team did a study of all extant Neanderthal skeletal material finding a consistent pattern of healed fractures in certain places. Comparing this to modern populations the closest match is in wrestlers and rodeo riders. In his words (paraphrased) " this is a population that had frequent close quarter interactions with large angry animals". So it looks like they simply mobbed the musk ox/mammoth/whatever and just battered away with hand axes and the like. Hard core. That's probably enough of my prolix Neanderthal fanboying now.

Neanderthals (or rather, their dna) play a minor side role in a great scifi book I just finished reading called Seveneaves. It's a pretty epic tome clicking in at 900 pages but it is just fantastic.
