Why did Neanderthals lose from earth?

In Spanish cave have been found paintings, what are made Neanderthals, the ancient humans, who were lost in history. Those humans were stronger than modern people, and they were quite intelligent. They had pikes and spears and they used clothes. This is what is known about those forefathers of the modern human. There were known that those ancient humans might have civilizations, if they had enough time to develop their culture, and the greatest lack of Neanderthals in the race against Cro-Magnon and modern human was the lack of alphabetical and phonetic writing, what allowed them to forward the wisdom of ancient generations for younger members of the community.

This made the forwarding traditions for younger generations impossible if something happened to the elder members of the community. The phonetic alphabet allowed to self-learning without elder people, and it gave the very good advantage for Cro-Magnons. If there were no written texts with instructions, how to make the bow or good spear, and what kind of flesh can people eat, all knowledge must be transferred to younger members of the group from the memory.

If something happened to elder persons, that information was ever given to the group. That might cause serious situation if some member of the group made food by using old flesh, where were botulism bacteria. That might cause very bad food poisoning for all group. But where those Neanderthals went? This is the very tricky question, and maybe one of the reasons, what caused the death to all those people, was some kind of epidemics. If those people got some infection, they would be killed, because nobody ever heard about the bacteria. The eating dead persons might be signed, that Neanderthal population was suffering genetic degeneration's, and this happened because those groups were quite small. Also, the illnesses transformed from dead Neanderthals to other members of the group during cannibalism.


This was caused the situation, that the babies were made with other members of the family. When the Ice Age came, the conditions of life were extremely hard. And because Neanderthals were not know how to make the tent, they were in trouble. Neanderthals were addicted to caves, and if snow filled that place, they were in trouble. Also, Cro-Magnon lived in caves, but they covered the entrance with sand. So there were very comfortable in that cave, and members of the team could trust together. They were not cannibals, and that made their group strong. And that was the necessary thing in the hard times like ice-age.

New AI-based operating systems revolutionize drone technology.

"University of Missouri researchers are advancing drone autonomy using AI, focusing on navigation and environmental interaction without GPS reliance. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, AI Unleashed: Revolutionizing Autonomous Drone Navigation) The GPS is an effective navigation system. But the problem is, how to operate that system when somebody jams it? The GPS is a problematic system. Its signal is quite easy to cut. And otherwise, if the enemy gets the GPS systems in their hands, they can get GPS frequencies. That helps to make the jammer algorithms against those drones. The simple GPS is a very vulnerable thing.  Done swarms are effective tools when researchers want to control large areas. The drone swarm's power base is in a non-centralized calculation methodology. In that model, drones share their CPU power with other swarm members. This structure allows us to drive complicated AI-based solutions. And in drone swarms, the swarm operates as an entirety. That ca

Hydrogen is one of the most promising aircraft fuels.

Aircraft can use hydrogen in fuel cells. Fuel cells can give electricity to the electric engines that rotate propellers. Or they can give electricity to electric jet engines. In electric jet engines. Electric arcs heat air, and the expansion of air or some propellant pushes aircraft forward. Or, the aircraft can use hydrogen in its turbines or some more exotic engines like ramjets. Aircraft companies like Airbus and some other aircraft manufacturers test hydrogen as the turbine fuel.  Hydrogen is one of the most interesting fuels for next-generation aircraft that travel faster than ever. Hydrogen fuel is the key element in the new scramjet and ramjet-driven aircraft. Futuristic hypersonic systems can reach speeds over Mach 20.  Today the safe top speed of those aircraft that use air-breathe hypersonic aircraft is about Mach 5-6.   Hydrogen is easy to get, and the way to produce hydrogen determines how ecological that fuel can be. The electrolytic systems require electricity, and electr

The neuroscientists get a new tool, the 1400 terabyte model of human brains.

"Six layers of excitatory neurons color-coded by depth. Credit: Google Research and Lichtman Lab" (SciteechDaily, Harvard and Google Neuroscience Breakthrough: Intricately Detailed 1,400 Terabyte 3D Brain Map) Harvard and Google created the first comprehensive model of human brains. The new computer model consists of 1400 terabytes of data. That thing would be the model. That consists comprehensive dataset about axons and their connections. And that model is the path to the new models or the human brain's digital twins.  The digital twin of human brains can mean the AI-based digital model. That consists of data about the blood vessels and neural connections. However, the more advanced models can simulate electric and chemical interactions in the human brain.  This project was impossible without AI. That can collect the dataset for that model. The human brain is one of the most complicated structures and interactions between neurotransmitters, axons, and the electrochemica
