@@berzerkbankie1342 He is tho. At the very least 5'6. I know ppl like to joke about Joe's height but he legitamately is 5'6-5'7. The easiest way to tell is to just judge his size next to the UFC fighters he interviews after their fights. Joe looks the same height as most fighters in the 5'6-5'8 range

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@vagabond57097 You're joking, right?? lol Those fighters are barefoot in the cage. A standard shoe (or sneaker) will give you about 1", but boots can give you 2", and for a price (which height-challenged rich men are happy to pay), regular looking shoes can be bought that have a 2" (or higher) sole, pretty well concealed. Traditionally they're called "elevator shoes". But that's just the outside of the shoe. Have you never heard of lifts?? Lifts are inserted inside the shoe, usually just where the heel sits, lifting the heel up. A 1" lift is the most common, as it's the most comfortable, and the least obvious. But 2" lifts can be worn as well. Some guys even go over that by up to maybe 3", but that tends to be quite obvious as it can alter the man's gait unnaturally, making him walk around gingerly like a woman in high heels. It kinda juts the knees outward, and the shoes, even in black, tend to look a little wonky. Elevator shoes at that height are also made wider at the base, for extra stability so the man doesn't turn an ankle. Stallone and Cruise have both worn 3" elevator shoes. But 2" is more common for short guys. So let's see, you said the average fighter height is 5'7". And they're in bare feet when Joe interviews them in the cage. Well, if Joe is, as you say, the same height as them, then he would be at most 5'6" in bare feet, that is if he's wearing a standard shoe. But let's say he "lifts" like so many other short men in the entertainment business. We'll give him a modest 1.5" heel on his shoe, to be conservative. And just a 1" lift inside the shoe, again being conservative. That means in bare feet he's 5'4 1/2". And if he gets 2" on the sole and wears 2" lift inserts, then he's 5'3" in bare feet. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if I remember correctly from my studies (paleoanthropology), the skeletons of Neanderthals indicated that they were not able to throw spears.. (something about their shoulder joints had some limitations we do not have) and furthermore the bones showed they had muscle attachements that indicates they had immense power thrusting spears, so I think Joe and Steve are correct saying they were mixing it up with big animals.. Bears, wild oxen and the like. In addition they were clearly not runners unlike the newcomer humans that could run their wounded prey down and finish them off using missile weapons like short spears with the atl-atl throwing stick. Neanderthals was ambush predators and knowing how alert animals are, they had to have exceptional stealth skills to get that close to an animal, or maybe they got close to a big animal which then charged them to protect itself. Clearly strong individuals that had to be able to communicate verbally to plan the hunting strategy.

Regarding Neanderthal weaponry, we know a little more about this by now. We haven't found evidence of 'atlatls' (spear-throwers, or dart-throwers, where a spear was launched from a kind of hook, increasing the range), but we do know that Neanderthals had javelins - probably dual-purpose hunting and combat weapons - and also that the chafing of their long-bones (arms) show them as 'highly-trained' hunters and fighters. So, they could probably throw an ordinary javelin almost as far as 'we' could throw an atlatl. (Perhaps a few exceptional warriors could even throw them further). Also, going against the cliches, they stood slightly more upright than modern humans...

We have a set of neanderthal stone tools in our lab and we also have a set of early modern human stone tools from East Africa. It blew my mind how much more sophisticated the Neanderthal tools were than the sapiens tools the first time I saw them. Also, Neanderthals certainly hafted tools like spears and knives. Concerning the skeletal injuries, the pattern of injuries between sexes only becomes pronounced after the introduction of agricultural and sedentary living so even early modern humans who were hunter gatherers have less distinctive injury patterns.

Neanderthals must have been pretty smart they had art ,language ,death customs ,stone tools and weapons and they where very successful in Europe and existed a lot longer than modern humans ! For their tools and weapons they made a very good glue from certain tree saps and other ingredients and the process of creating it was really complex and a lot of thought was put into it !! This isn't the behaviour of a normal animal ! They where defenetly conscious and self aware this is pretty hard to dispute they weren't given all the evidence we have about them .

[@Guyonnn]

Steve is right about the confrontational hunting style. It’s not that the intelligence level between them and Homo sapiens was that different, just the physical aspect was vastly different. Which eventually was the downfall of Neanderthals. Because Homo sapiens couldn’t physically take on Sabre tooths or other big animals up close, they had to master ranged weapons and that carried them to the future.

[@craigkelleher5715]

Breeding with Neanderthals was essential to our success in the modern day. One of the main genes we inherited from Neanderthals is called MCPH1 and helps to ensure that our brains develop properly. In sub-saharan African populations, with almost no Neanderthal DNA, we see a consistent pattern of developmental brain issues. For example, some studies showing a 9X higher rate of schizophrenia

That's very interesting. Do you know how the sub-saharans with Neanderthal DNA correspond in this study?

[@altergreenhorn]

He is white so he has neanderthal DNA scientist already proved that for example: white skin, straight hair, blue eyes are some of neanderthal DNA heritage. Average human has a great misperception of neanderthal potentials, looks... because of false old learning/myths about neanderthal.

They crafted a resin through an industrial process to hold their spear heads on. We can't currently figure out how they did it. They were intelligent

The simple fact is that groups that breed only with each other begin to develop specific and sometimes unique traits. 10000 years from now I wonder what an archaeologist would think of redheads. Since Redheads only occur when both family lines have the trait. It is quite likely that reheads will eventually be bred out. Consider all the blood lines that have been ended due to slaughter, disease and disasters. Is it possible that the supposed different types of humans were simply interbred groups that either died out or were bred out due to a combination of recessive and dominant genes? What if the people we identify as neanderthals had to breed with shared bloodlines to show those distinctive traits. What about the Basque people. They have distinctive genetics. No one thinks they are a different type of human. Just brainstorming.

If I remember correctly, Neanderthals didn’t have the flexibility in the shoulder joint to support launching spears, so stone tools made more sense from a physiological standpoint

On the Neanderthal: It was suggested at some point that humans were so much more attractive, and mystifying with shiny jewelry, that we bred them out of existence.

Hey Joe, George "the animal" Steele was a high school football coach in Michigan. I went to Warren Fitzgerald (class of 89), and we played football against him every year. Very non Neanderthal. Very intelligent and articulate, but a he'll of an actor in the wrestling world. Guys who played against him were more intimidated of him then the actual players unless you actually spoke to him. Research it dude. Love your show. Love mma. Much respect to you brother.

[@jonhopp]

Are there any estimates for the neanderthal population by the time modern humans had a presence in Eurasia? It may have been that they didn't even die off that much, but that their population was largely absorbed through interbreeding. Neanderthals lived in smaller groups compared to homo sapiens, who lived and migrated in much larger tribes. I'm guessing it was a mix of dying off, via violence, losing territory, etc... and simply being absorbed. 2-5% neanderthal Dna in modern humans is no small amount. Interbreeding probably was more than just a few isolated incidents I would think.

[@ninjasta4970]
