Neanderthal's are pre-pottery. Obviously we have to give them credit for a far greater degree of abstract thinking than has traditionally been the case.

What is the evidence that says NHS lacked robust abstract thought capabilities? Other than stagnant technology advancements, I mean.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

In the past it was HSS prejudice.

We thought they were grunting cavemen.

The Christ-tards are so firmly convinced every other dating method used is incorrect, so I don't doubt for a second that they're already convinced that the dating method used to calculate the age of this metal bowl is incorrect.

In other news on Creationist Geology Today, an object was found which is older than the universe! Finally, an undeniable miracle! Praise the Lord!!!

Any shithead who thinks humans rode around on dinosaurs can be safely relegated to the nutbin of history.

Recent population estimates of neanderthals suggest Neanderthal population size in europe and middle east was always very low by the standard of HSS sizes in comparable areas. So on a per capita basis, Neanderthal rate of technological advancements was comparable to HSS.

Neanderthal overall rate of progress only seemed low compared to HSS only because there were many fewer Neanderthals available to think up innovations.

Right, and scattered across a wide area. I have seen estimates of a max HNS population of 15,000 in an area from the Crimea to Spain. Scattered in bands of 20-30 people. Even if someone made a major innovation the mechanism for spreading it beyond the group must have been quite haphazard.




And, let's not forget
