Neanderthals vs Homo Sapiens Who Was Smarter?

This video explores the intelligence of Neanderthals versus Homo sapiens, questioning whether we’ve underestimated our ancient relatives. Neanderthals had bigger brains but focused more on vision and body control, while Homo sapiens excelled in abstract thinking and innovation. Though Neanderthals survived for nearly 300,000 years, they eventually disappeared due to climate change, competition, and interbreeding. However, traces of their DNA remain in modern humans. The video challenges viewers to rethink intelligence—was it rapid innovation or long-term sustainability that truly defined the smarter species?
