Let’s face it: humanity peaked somewhere between inventing fire and discovering that avocado toast is not a personality. So naturally, the next logical step is bringing back Neanderthals. Yes, those charming, brow-heavy cousins we once outcompeted for cave space are now being reconsidered as the future of our species. Because when modern civilization starts to feel like a bad episode of Black Mirror, why not reboot the original cast?

Science, in its infinite wisdom and occasional flair for chaos, has begun flirting with the idea of de-extincting Neanderthals. Geneticists, armed with CRISPR and a God complex, are eyeing ancient DNA like it’s a Build-A-Bear workshop for hominids. The pitch? Neanderthals might offer insights into disease resistance, cognitive diversity, and, wait for it, better parenting instincts. Because nothing screams “nurturing” like a species that clubbed things first and asked questions never.

Of course, the ethical debates are as rich as a paleo diet influencer’s Instagram feed. Should we resurrect a species just to study it, or worse, integrate it into society? Imagine the job interviews: “So, Mr. Neanderthal, tell us about a time you overcame adversity.” “Ugh. Sabertooth. Big teeth. Ran.” And don’t even get me started on dating apps. Swipe right if you enjoy long walks in the tundra and smashing mammoth bones for fun.

But maybe, just maybe, Neanderthals are the reboot we deserve. They didn’t invent capitalism, reality TV, or NFTs. They didn’t doom the planet with plastic straws and billionaires in space. They lived simply, grunted honestly, and probably never tweeted. In a world drowning in hot takes and influencer culture, a little prehistoric humility might be the antidote we didn’t know we needed.

So here’s to the Neanderthal comeback, proof that history isn’t just written by the victors, but occasionally rewritten by scientists with too much time and not enough supervision. If nothing else, it’ll make for a killer reality show: Keeping Up with the Cro-Magnons. And who knows? Maybe the future of humanity isn’t smarter, just... brow-ridge-ier.
