I have read theories where they thought Man was possibly the result of "neoteny", when a sexually-mature adult animal retains aspects of its childish form.

I've also been saying for a while that Man looks to me more and more like an idiot savant amongst animals, rather than a paragon.

He brags about his big brain making him the technological Godzilla that he is, but it looks like human brains getting bigger just make them worse ...

I wonder what that says about the Neanderthal.
