I’d give laser pointers to Neanderthals. Even if they did figure out some useful application for them (maybe hunting?) they’d run out of batteries eventually.

    I mean, we’re not descended from neanderthals. And you don’t need a chair to sit.

      Partially we are. They found Neanderthal DNA in modern humans, meaning our ancestors found them nice enough…

        Okay, yes, so technically we are a bit, at least for humans with ancestry outside of Africa. Touche.

        But, they weren’t an earlier version of humans like (still) gets implied in pop culture sometimes. More of an alternate modern group that went extinct.
