Today we are still working to learn the truth about our long ed cousins and ancestors. The racist bias of one man lead the entire scientific community to believe ridiculous things about our human ancestors such as the myth that their skulls had a furrowed brow due to being in pain all the time, or that they were more savage or brutish.
We have even learned that somewhere along the line, another ancestor of ours mated with neanderthals, indicating that we were a product of a few different ancient hominid species, and that humans may have even learned from them rather than the other way around.
They were intelligent and even sophisticated people, reduced to oafish tropes over the ages.
