Since the late 1980s the dominant theory of human origins has been that a “cognitive revolution” (c. 50,000 years ago) led to the advent of our species, Homo sapiens. As a result of this revolution our species spread and eventually replaced all existing archaic Homo species, ultimately leading to the superiority of modern humans. Or so we thought.
As Clive Finlayson explains, the latest advances in genetics prove that there was significant interbreeding between modern humans and the Neanderthals. All non-Africans today carry some Neanderthal genes. We have also discovered aspects of Neanderthal behavior that indicate that they were not cognitively inferior to modern humans, as we once thought, and in fact had their own rituals and art. Finlayson, who is at the forefront of this research, recounts the discoveries of his team, providing evidence that Neanderthals caught birds of prey and used their feathers for symbolic purposes. There is also evidence that Neanderthals practiced other forms of art, as the recently discovered engravings in Gorham’s Cave Gibraltar indicate.
Linking all the recent evidence, The Smart Neanderthal casts a new light on the Neanderthals and the “Cognitive Revolution”. Finlayson overturns classic narratives of human origins and raises important questions about who we really are.

Whatever is left of them inside us will be extinct before this century is over. It’s fun learning about how we became so smart that were committing suicide - thanks.

*The Great Capitalist Lie (Part Three)*
Hunger, crippling poverty, rising inequality — putting capitalist misery into concrete numbers. The evidence is clear: we live in a dystopian hellscape.
“In part one of this essay series, we have discussed the ideology around progress and development as well as the persistent propaganda of aid. Then, in part two, we examined hunger statistics in excruciating detail and found that… things have never been worse; there have never been more hungry people than today.”

I moved to the safest & quietest (and whitest) bedroom subburb of metro Vancouver 4 years ago so I can walk (15min)to 90% of everything I need & now I can’t walk 1 block without seeing a bunch of homeless junkies & addict whores. Last week a guy shot up under a tree in the town square park, in broad daylight with 20+ people around & ODed. Within 5 min some dude with Narcan nasal spray walked up & ’saved’ him. Are you sure people who knowingly shoot up street Fentanyl & worse want to be here? I say letting them go is a mercy. In a few years I’ll have had enough. I’ll OD at the customer service counter, that way, I’ll know no one will be around to ’save’ me.
