Why did Neanderthals lose from earth?

In Spanish cave have been found paintings, what are made Neanderthals, the ancient humans, who were lost in history. Those humans were stronger than modern people, and they were quite intelligent. They had pikes and spears and they used clothes. This is what is known about those forefathers of the modern human. There were known that those ancient humans might have civilizations, if they had enough time to develop their culture, and the greatest lack of Neanderthals in the race against Cro-Magnon and modern human was the lack of alphabetical and phonetic writing, what allowed them to forward the wisdom of ancient generations for younger members of the community.

This made the forwarding traditions for younger generations impossible if something happened to the elder members of the community. The phonetic alphabet allowed to self-learning without elder people, and it gave the very good advantage for Cro-Magnons. If there were no written texts with instructions, how to make the bow or good spear, and what kind of flesh can people eat, all knowledge must be transferred to younger members of the group from the memory.

If something happened to elder persons, that information was ever given to the group. That might cause serious situation if some member of the group made food by using old flesh, where were botulism bacteria. That might cause very bad food poisoning for all group. But where those Neanderthals went? This is the very tricky question, and maybe one of the reasons, what caused the death to all those people, was some kind of epidemics. If those people got some infection, they would be killed, because nobody ever heard about the bacteria. The eating dead persons might be signed, that Neanderthal population was suffering genetic degeneration's, and this happened because those groups were quite small. Also, the illnesses transformed from dead Neanderthals to other members of the group during cannibalism.


This was caused the situation, that the babies were made with other members of the family. When the Ice Age came, the conditions of life were extremely hard. And because Neanderthals were not know how to make the tent, they were in trouble. Neanderthals were addicted to caves, and if snow filled that place, they were in trouble. Also, Cro-Magnon lived in caves, but they covered the entrance with sand. So there were very comfortable in that cave, and members of the team could trust together. They were not cannibals, and that made their group strong. And that was the necessary thing in the hard times like ice-age.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
