    It’s from back when Neanderthals were taking us out by the thousands, we had to identify our kind from afar and show signs of good intentions.

    Also, none of this is true.

      I heard a theory somewhere that the last Neanderthals bred themselves into extinction because male Neanderthals would be more favorable for female Homo Sapiens; female Neanderthals and male Homo Sapiens that couldn’t find mates would find each other more favorable than not mating.

      It’s a weird thought. Not sure how true it is either.
