>>12962451>you would need to provide solid evidence of the real population size of the two species, evidence of inbreeding among NeanderthalNo I wouldn't, because I'm just recounting what scientists claimed. It's supported by links I already provided (humans had more diverse mating habits, wandered farther, had brains better built for socialization, etc). I never set out to prove anything except that this is a theory that is supported by a number of scientists, whereas you made the assertion that it was bullshit and then gave a bunch of reasons that, upon further research, aren't even among the consensus theories.
>the size of their social groups based on skull shape which is mere speculation contradicted by large gatherings among members of their species in one of my previously posted studies.That's funny, because one of the papers you're using to support this specifically made the remark that it was a small group.
"By applying a morphometric method to a sample of fossil footprints made during a single brief occupation event, our analysis shows that they represent a small group with a majority of children and thus provides direct evidence of the composition of a Neandertal group."
>Just don't make shit up anon.If you'd taken your own advice in your very first post, we wouldn't have gone through this exchange. Don't act like a know-it-all asshole and call someone out when it's obvious you didn't know what the fuck you were talking about. Having a little humility can go a long way.
