I think neanderthals were less war-like than humans because humans eradicated all
Akchually, Neanderthals were humans and we don’t know why they disappeared. The idea that homo sapiens eradicated them all is probably a wrong one; their decline begun before the arriving of homo sapiens.
The most recent suggestion I saw is that there were just more sapiens when they started interacting. Interbreeding must have happened, but with new groups of sapiens continuously arriving from the middle east, the neanderthal DNA just got more and more dilute. Eventually “pure” neanderthals no longer existed.
It is considered true but the"replacement" took place over thousands of years and the neanderthal population was very small in comparison to the ones they were bedding.
Pretty sure those 2% refer to the subsection of the genome that is unique to homo sapiens. We have >98% shared DNA among all great apes (including humans)

I can’t tell if you’re being serious, or making fun of the great replacement

Akchsually if you look at the genetic markers in modern populations its pretty clear what happened. 🍆💦 👶
They ate egg plant, at which point there were heavy rains which did them in?
The combination of eggplant and deluge turned them all into babies. Unable to hunt or communicate, they were wiped out.
Babies are actually pretty good communicators 🤓
As I recall one theory is that Neanderthals was absorbed into homo sapiens.
Europeans and Asians also have roughly 2% Neanderthal DNA on average, so it’s likely we absorbed a significant chunk of their population into our own.
