Neanderthals Memes

The ultimate evolutionary burn! This meme hilariously plays on the interbreeding that occurred between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens before Neanderthals went extinct around 40,000 years ago. Modern genetic studies have revealed that non-African humans today carry about 1-4% Neanderthal DNA, proving our ancient ancestors definitely got some "Homo sapienussy" before Neanderthals disappeared forever. The scientific community spent decades debating whether Neanderthals were outcompeted by our metabolically more efficient ancestors or if they were simply absorbed through interbreeding. Turns out, it was a bit of both! Evolution meets prehistoric booty calls - the original "Netflix and chill" of the Paleolithic era.
