Neanderthal, according to Miriam-Webster, is a man who is stupid and rude. Neanderthals are famous for being hairy, animistic beings. However, have we been misconceiving the Neanderthal all this time?
Everything you know about the Neanderthal is wrong.
They are not stupid, and in fact, they are on par with the intelligence of modern humans. Nor did this supposed intellectual inferiority lead to their demise. The evidence for such an assumption is baseless and false.
The Neanderthals have been a common staple in the theory of evolution. Scientists have used the Neanderthal as a stepping stone from chimp to human. However, if the Neanderthal is equal to humans in intellectual capacity, why should we continue to assume that the evolution theory is correct? It is not possible for the chimpanzee to have evolved into a Neanderthal, because the intelligence gap was too wide. Also, why should we continue to believe that evolution is true, when one of their key arguments has been proved false?
