SCT: Neanderthals Were More Logical than Evolutionary Anthropologists
A “modern” human would not
have married a sub-human. It’s
racist to assume otherwise.

With Neanderthals and Denisovans,
We Are All the Same Kind of Being

Making the rounds on the mainstream media recently has been a story that “lead exposure helped shape human intelligence” (Science Daily). This just-so story, based on a smidgen of stains on teeth, accomplished two goals for Darwinians: it allowed the imposition of natural selection onto the evidence, and it maintained the needed separation of Neanderthals from modern humans. As Denyse O’Leary has said, “in an evolution-based scheme, someone must be the subhuman.”

According to the hypothesis published in Science Advances, Neanderthals fell behind in the fitness race by suffering from lead poisoning. A mutation in the modern human lineage at the NOVA1 gene, a key regulator of neurodevelopment, supposedly gave “modern” humans a slight edge of protection from the neural damage of lead poisoning — just enough to help us break the tape in the fitness race and leave the Neanderthals stumbling behind into extinction.
I tend to think this tale would have made our Neanderthal brethren furrow their thick brows, then burst out laughing. After all, they might say in their complex language, they got on just fine for 400,000 years in that environment. And what about all the other cave critters that prospered in spite of drinking lead-tainted water? This makes no sense. Neanderthals thrived, migrated, mastered hunting and fishing, made art, and left their imprint in the European human genome — all under harsh environments that required understanding and manipulating their resources. Would that not make them more logical than evolutionary anthropologists living lives of comparative ease today? ….
