1. Neanderthals were magnificent.

Today scientists have completely reversed their view of Neanderthals.

It's likely they were highly intelligent and superior in many aspects to H. sapiens.

I frequently wonder what would have happened if Neanderthals had won the evolutionary "war"...

Would they be as violent and destructive as H. sapiens?
