I wondered whether Neanderthals domesticated dogs, and it turns out, that might have been one of the edges we had over our cousins, we had dogs and they did not.
Also, scientists currently estimate only 50-80 interspecies fuck parties ever occurred based on the amount of their DNA in those of us from outside Africa.
In Russia, a team of archaeologists has unearthed the oldest spearhead ever found in Europe and found that it was made by Neanderthals.

This one here's a pretty old bone #SpearTip. In fact it's the oldest (yet known) in Europe! - And you'll never guess who made it! 🤔
Was it Neanderthals? - Well, yes it was #Neanderthals. 🙌

Interesting idea about why Neanderthals died out and Homo sapiens survived.

Y chromosomes from the few extant male Neanderthal fossils are more similar to those from a now-extinct branch of modern humans than to those from nominally-more-similar Denisovans. This provides evidence of male:female human:Neanderthal interbreeding, complementing the female:male interbreeding indicated by mitochondrial DNA.
