Estimate of Neanderthal populations puts their numbers much below those of hss. Adjusted for the many fewer Neanderthal brains that were available to think about innovations, it appears the rate of innovation per Neanderthal-years were not statistically meaningfully lower than the rate of innovation per man-years during Paleolithic.
