we do nature a disservice by helping those people. If you ever want them to evolve into more intelligent human beings, maybe even functional some day, the dumbest of them have to starve to death or die of thirst. I get it, nobody wants to see suffering when it’s preventable, but if we prevent it, they just breed even more super low IQ “humans” than is sustainable to their local resources, and the suffering grows without even more help.
Larger brain capacity than modern humans, but oddly not larger than the humans at the time. (Humanity let it self go when we won, we were also much bigger at the time on average, but all that crap like intelligence and size takes energy and being able to more efficiently use food often wins out)
Neanderthals didn't seem to have the mental abstraction abilities to form large societies though, even compared to humans at the time. And their tech, though better than what came before, was nearly stagnant for virtually their entire existence. I think they actually trace the details of human population expansion due to long distance trade goods, because the Neanderthals barely did any long distance trade and modern human ancestors did a noticeable amount, even when just roving hunter gatherers.
