Cro ended up with more culture (art/decorations) and a little more advanced tools yet again free reign for unfathomable years compared to our own race today.

So no if given 200,000 years they would still of ended up where they were. They had that and then some.

As for the rest of your or well some others arguments who would rather say god created it all (creationism) I am not about to even delve into as they are not only absurd, yet nearly always disproved or dismissed by real science. Unless and a big unless it falls into one of the missing link categories. Since not every single gawd damn step happened to get fossilized unfortunately.

Your argument does not recognize that the bulk of major technological advances were discovered by a very small number of people.
One million humans didn't wake up on day and discover electricity, one single person did. This is important because the world would not have changed at that time without that one person and to claim that human intelligence was increased because there was one genius among us is flawed.
Humans can now build tv sets, but you can't build one!!

We have 4 billion brains in the human talent pool today while neanderthal may have had as little as 50,000(Swag figure here). Of course we invent more shit!



Further, earlier humans didn't have all day to sit around dreaming up shit that led to revolutionary discoveries, they had to forage for food and work all day.

Like I said, it's your human ego that requires you to belive you are smarter than neanderthal.

Neanderthal would have laughed at the stupidity of the tv show Survivor as the modern human contestants would all die in about a week if the shit was real, yet neanderthal survived far worse conditions because of his brain.
