How would today’s humans treat Neanderthals?
Let’s presume we discovered a population of human-like apes with a general IQ around 70, living sustainably in a remote area of the world. Would history repeat itself: would we inevitably kill them off through some combination of genocide, competition and destruction of resources (and interbreeding)? Or would we protect them this time ‘round?

1 commentaireThis is based on if one believes in Neanderthals. I do not, so I can’t answer that question [spoiler]licks finger [/spoiler]

14 commentairesI think history would repeat itself. Because...as a species...we haven't evolved far enough yet that we are willing to set our own interests aside to do what is best for others. Given industrialization, there is no need for another round of slavery or genocides. But I think you'd see Neanderthals treated in much the same way that developing countries are still treated today. Marginalized. Robbed of their resource wealth....and then eventually crowded off their land. Why? Because people can....and can make money and gain power from doing so.

1 commentaireAre they sitting on coal, oil, natural gas rare earths or precious metals? That's what will really determine what happens to them...

1 commentaireThey were not like apes, and genetically stronger than us, and quite intelligent. Just gonna put some facts in there

depends on how they taste

Humans can't even tolerate each other, so I wouldn't set my expectations terribly high.

Encino Man Movie says it all

1 commentaireI think it's safe to say history would repeat itself. ... and seeing as the vast majority of our population has some neanderthal DNA...

People today can't leave anything alone, besides the people that they should be with or taking care of. So no, the Neanderthals would be doomed to final destruction by every adventure seeker, trophy hunter, and basic idiots that break into gorilla and big cat enclosures, or think they can pet wild Bison in the state parks. "Scientists" would have 24/7 drone fly overs and trail cameras every 50 feet, so they can "observe", all just making intrusion and eventual discovery that they are not alone.

Disney would buy the rights, make a movie, then aggressively monetize everything about them.

3 commentairesIf we treat them like animals, they’ll probably be under some sort of conservation effort. If we treat them like people, and try to integrate them into society, there’ll probably be a lot of racism.

Imperial totalitarian annihilation...

I'd let natural selection and survival of the fittest kick in, again.

Probably similar to how indigenous tribes are treated, which varies depending on where they are and who found them. Sentinel Island is protected but Amazonian tribes have to deal with constant bullshit.
