Heard In A Redneck Bar In Northern Wisconsin

34. The Neanderthals existed from 450,000 years ago to 40,000 years ago

And they spread through Eurasia from northwestern Europe through central Asia. So, they must have bred well enough. For comparison, we've been around for about 300,000 years and out of Africa in numbers for less than 100,000 years. So, their stay was about 30% longer than ours so far. Homo erectus and previous species were around for a lot longer. So, I'm not sure if inbreeding was a key factor for their extinction.

Anyway, hominns dealing with immigrants is a phenomenon that is literally older than humanity Or, as anti-immigrant MAGA might say to this, "huh?"
