Neanderthals went extinct around 40,000 years ago so there are a lot of maybes when it comes to what we know about them. Did they know how to start fires? Did they use medicine? Did they have a language similar to humans? Did they know how to preserve food? Did they create art and music? Did they make clothing? Did they sail? The answers to all those questions are big fat maybes, which archaeologist are still trying to figure out.  But First Guess what everyone? It’s almost spooky month, October, the best month of the year, so get excited! This October we have a spectacular line-up. First, the Villisca Axe Murder House, recorded IN the Murder House. Second, Bigfoot, not recorded with an actual Sasquatch. Third, we have Mermaids (Merpeople) recorded in costume, but not underwater. Last we have the Addams Family, I personally have reached out to Christina Ricci, and she will not be guest starring. This is Halloween Month, the best Month! The Good The Bad The News The Bad China is no longer teaching English in schools, why? Firefighters race to save the world’s largest tree as wildfires rage because humans are causing fires hotter than nature can handle. The Good Fans rescue a falling cat at stadium.  Pfizer says that COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective for children ages of 5 and 11. Neanderthals lived in small isolated groups, with individuals rarely living past 40 years. This resulted in a stagnation of technology growth, as well as a good amount of inbreeding. Add in their dangerous hunting technique, and it’s surprising that Neanderthals did as well as they did and that they did well enough to survive and mate with modern humans before going extinct. Listen now to learn about Neanderthals out brothers from another species.
