Neanderthals Were Not "SO MUCH LIKE US" Post 832

 OK, so maybe I haven't done 832 posts on it, but I have done a lot of posts on how this big push to claim that "Neanderthals were so much like us" or "another kind of human" are just hype. The new research shows that human brains develop slower than Neanderthals and this results in fewer chromosome errors during the brain growth process. 

Mice and Neanderthals are identical in six sites where humans differ. They did some testing and a part of what those genes do is help reduce copy error. It doesn't matter if their brains were the same size as ours- the structure was different and how carefully the circuits were put together was different.
