RE: Rewriting the story of Human Origins.

What is also interesting is that the intelligence of all the forefathers of the human race is measured according to the skull size. The Neanderthals have a larger skull size than modern homo sapiens, but strangely they are not regarded as more intelligent as homo sapiens. They also found that Europeans have Neanderthal genes which indicate that the Neanderthal and homo sapien of Western Europe lived together and interbred.
Thanks for interesting post.

Intelligence is not always the be all, end all. Homo Sapiens were nearly as smart, but also much more aggressive. Sadly that was an unbeatable combo at the time. I sometimes lament that we did not descend instead from the comparatively peaceful Bonobo. How different society would be.
