They were highly intelligent, with brains, on average bigger than Homo sapiens.
Like the dinosaurs, the Neanderthals didn’t know what was coming. The difference is that the dinosaurs disappeared suddenly following a giant meteorite hit from outer space. To the Neanderthals, extinction happened gradually. They eventually lost their world, a comfortable home they had successfully occupied for hundreds of thousands of years that slowly turned against them until existence itself was unsustainable.
In that sense, Neanderthals now serve a different purpose. We see our reflection in them. They didn’t know what was happening to them, and they had no choice but to continue down the road that eventually led to extinction. We, on the other hand, are painfully aware of our situation and the impact we have on this planet.and is leading straight into sixth mass extinction. We can reflect on the mess we have landed ourselves in, and we can do something about it.
If we don’t want to end up like the Neanderthals, we better get our act together and collectively work for a more sustainable future. Neanderthal extinction reminds us that we should never take our existence for granted.
