Overview
Penny Spikins argues that if Neandertals (H. neanderthalensis) had become the dominant hominin species (while, presumably H. sapiens became extinct) that the world would be very different than it is today. She supports this claim by discussing the ways Neandertal behavior differs from modern Homo sapiens.
Evaluate this assertion, using the other assigned readings posted on Canvas, especially Moellem.
