I read that neadertals had brains larger than humans, and are believed to have come into existence 350,000 years ago, and gone extinct 20,000 years ago. I also read that people came into existence 130,000 years ago.
So my question is, is there a theory for why their technology developed so much slower. One would expected them to have launched satelites or gone to the moon 130,000 years after they popped into existence, like people have, given their brains. My book said they had bulgier fingers than humans. Is this what is believed to have made it hard for them to make technology?
So once again, the question is, what theories are there for why they didn't progress farther than they did?
