Possibly the cause of the neanderthals' extinction...

So apparently the biggest cause of their down fall was the size of their eyes, this lead to them not being as good at thinking as humans and led to their demise.

Somehow, I don't believe it as much as I should... I become a bit skeptical of anything that archaeologists find.
No matter what they discover they always find something else in 20 years that contradicts it, the constant change in the portrayal of the dinosaurs is kind of evident of this.
The sun beyond the mountain glows
The yellow river seaward flows
You can enjoy a grander sight
By climbing to a greater height

I have run out of places to climb. I will abandon this body and take to the air. We will leave twin vapor trails in the air, white lines etched into these rocks. I am the aerial. In my passing, I will send news to each and every star.

All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

Gargh F....

Get that... that THING away from me! It's looking into me, trying to find my soul!

I have run out of places to climb. I will abandon this body and take to the air. We will leave twin vapor trails in the air, white lines etched into these rocks. I am the aerial. In my passing, I will send news to each and every star.

It can beg all it wants... it can stay in there and think about what it's done.
