Among the Neanderthal Part 2

The only other choice that the Neanderthals had was to retreat and to move on or they just might make us mad, and if we'd get mad, Neanderthal lives could be lost, If we wanted their territory, We'd just take it by force. The Neanderthals fate did not deserve to be received, at least that's the viewpoint I've chosen to believe. For 250,000 years they endured the harshest living conditions known to humankind, but another human specie was now encroaching and many more of them were not far behind. 2% in either direction, be it higher birth or lower mortality rate. 2% is the simple equation that decided the Neanderthal's fate. Had that simple 2% been attained by the Neanderthal, they'd be with us today. With our children theirs would play. They would have never become extinct at all, but who is to say that if they survived to this day that we'd embrace them as sister and brother. We've come so far since then as an advanced specie and yet look how horrible we treat one another.
