Why did Neanderthals lose from earth?



Model of Neanderthal

In Spanish cave have been found paintings, what are made Neanderthals, the ancient humans, who were lost in history. Those humans were stronger than modern people, and they were quite intelligent. They had pikes and spears and they used clothes. This is what is known about those forefathers of the modern human. There were known that those ancient humans might have civilizations, if they had enough time to develop their culture, and the greatest lack of Neanderthals in the race against Cro-Magnon and modern human was the lack of alphabetical and phonetic writing, what allowed them to forward the wisdom of ancient generations for younger members of the community.

This made the forwarding traditions for younger generations impossible if something happened to the elder members of the community. The phonetic alphabet allowed to self-learning without elder people, and it gave the very good advantage for Cro-Magnons. If there were no written texts with instructions, how to make the bow or good spear, and what kind of flesh can people eat, all knowledge must be transferred to younger members of the group from the memory.

If something happened to elder persons, that information was ever given to the group. That might cause serious situation if some member of the group made food by using old flesh, where were botulism bacteria. That might cause very bad food poisoning for all group. But where those Neanderthals went? This is the very tricky question, and maybe one of the reasons, what caused the death to all those people, was some kind of epidemics. If those people got some infection, they would be killed, because nobody ever heard about the bacteria. The eating dead persons might be signed, that Neanderthal population was suffering genetic degeneration's, and this happened because those groups were quite small. Also, the illnesses transformed from dead Neanderthals to other members of the group during cannibalism.


This was caused the situation, that the babies were made with other members of the family. When the Ice Age came, the conditions of life were extremely hard. And because Neanderthals were not know how to make the tent, they were in trouble. Neanderthals were addicted to caves, and if snow filled that place, they were in trouble. Also, Cro-Magnon lived in caves, but they covered the entrance with sand. So there were very comfortable in that cave, and members of the team could trust together. They were not cannibals, and that made their group strong. And that was the necessary thing in the hard times like ice-age.

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

"Researchers discovered a significant magnesium anomaly in a meteorite’s dust particle, challenging current astrophysical models and suggesting new insights into hydrogen-burning supernovas. (Artist’s concept.)Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Rare Dust Particle From Ancient Extraterrestrial Meteorite Challenges Astrophysical Models) If the star is too heavy when its fusion reaction starts, it can detonate just at that moment, when its fusion starts. If the collapsing nebula is heavy enough, it can form a black hole straight from the nebula. But if the nebula's gravity is too heavy to  form  the blue giant or too  small  it can collapse  straight  into a black hole . If  the forming star is a little bit larger than the blue supergiants. It can explode immediately when the fusion starts.    The theory of hydrogen-burning supernovas consists  model  of the giant stars that explode immediately after their fusion starts. When the...

The ancient galaxy mirrors the Milky Way.

"This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. The infrared image was taken by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). In a recent study, researchers found evidence that REBELS-25 is a strongly rotating disc galaxy existing only 700 million years after the Big Bang. This makes it the most distant and earliest known Milky Way-like galaxy found to date. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/L. Rowland et al./ESO/J. Dunlop et al. Ack.: CASU, CALET" (ScitechDaily, Astronomers Baffled by Ancient Galaxy That Mirrors Modern Milky Way) Researchers found the youngest Milky Way-type galaxy. The distance to the galaxy is enormous. And the light that comes from that galaxy named REBELS-25 comes from the Universe that is only 700 million years old. The distance to that galaxy is enormous about 236 billion light years. And that means it's a very dista...

Transcendence, or the ability to transcendent thinking may grow in teen's brains.

   "New research has discovered that transcendent thinking, which involves analyzing the broader implications of situations, can foster brain growth in adolescents. This form of thinking enhances brain network coordination, impacting developmental milestones and future life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the need for education that encourages deep, reflective thought, underscoring the critical role of adolescents in their own brain development". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) "Scientists at  USC Rossier School of Education’s Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education (CANDLE) have discovered that adolescents who grapple with the bigger meaning of social situations experience greater brain growth, which predicts stronger identity development and life satisfaction years later". (ScitechDaily, Scientists Discover That “Transcendent” Thinking May Grow Teens’ Brains) The transcendenc...
