> I’ll start with a confession, an embarrassing but relevant one, because I would come to see our history with Neanderthals as continually distorted by an unfortunate human tendency to believe in ideas that are, in reality, incorrect — and then to leverage that conviction into a feeling of superiority over other people. And in retrospect, I realize I demonstrated that same tendency myself at the beginning of this project.

A humbling confession.

It seems he didn't learn much from the experience. Gibaltrar conflicts with Spain are not exclusively about the territorial aspect but rather it being a prominent haven for human and drug trafficking. Their locals are a constant embarrassment source for the U.K. government and for the most part treated like corsairs, tolerated in public but rather frown upon in private. Possible the worst of both Spanish and British 'maritime' traditions.

The coastal towns in the area are splendid though, and worth visiting indeed.

According to the US State Department

> Gibraltar is adjacent to known drug trafficking and human smuggling routes, but the territory is heavily policed on land and at sea due to the risk of these activities occurring within its borders or territorial waters

Gibraltar is a good example on low tax rates to Spain.

clearly we are more superior than neaderthals or else they'd still be alive. So he's not wrong.

Sir, if you were superior you would not have written "more superior than"! A neanderthal would simply have written "superior to". I tell ya, these homo sapiens they come over here they take our jobs, talk all foreign and mangle our grammar. When I were a lad all this were pygmy and dinosaurs.

From what I read we outbred them. If that really makes us "more superior", I cannot say...

Thats generally what superior means when talking about survival of the fittest. so yes.

All life is constantly trying to out-bread others. The ones that are bad at out-breading are called extinct.
