We don't know that, and we don't know that neanderthal males were more prone to rape than homo sapiens males. And it's weird to even apply the 21st century concept of rape to prehistoric societies.

I have to agree, theres a bizarre and worrying internet-brained hysterical element to that original comment which betrays a totally absent education.

the casual title is because of the scientific and prehistoric nature of the subject

However, if one happens to be a race science type, there’s a lot of profit that can be made telling suggestive “just so” stories about which homo sapiens genetic lines are allegedly tainted with a larger proportion of neanderthal genes, or however that’s supposed to work.

It would be an afrocentric trope because it’s Europeans that have the most neanderthal genes.

And because Europeans have the most Neanderthal genes, it's all "Neanderthals are smarter than we thought!" and not "are Europeans the missing link?"
