no, they can't. racism is an ideological framework they process literally everything through. even stuff seemingly unrelated, you put a hardcore racist in a math class and subsequently tell them the math they're learning was made by a black person it'll bother them
as an aside white people have by far the most neanderthal dna so if you're into white people that's a, actual neanderthal fetish :debate-me-debate-me: i mean look at ron perlman yo
Whenever I've seen neanderthals used by racists it's by people using their DNA as a justification for European superiority. The idea is that they were the original white people, and they got out-bred by Homo Sapiens, in a prehistoric version of white replacement.
Asians have even more Neanderthal DNA than whites, plus a small fraction of Denisovan (the sister clade of neanderthals which built insanely advanced stone jewelry)
idk how Quest For Fire ever got made. "Let's make a movie based on at this time up to date archeology and anthropology on ancient humans about three dudes going on a road trip to borrow a lighter."
Supposedly the scene where the guy taught them how to use a bow-drill firestarter took hours to film because some times it just takes hours to get a bow drill going properly, even if you're good at it.
no way archaeologists thought cavepeople kept perpetual fires going & didn't know how to light stuff themselves, did they? i thought that part was so ridiculous
For a while, yeah.fire was probably discovered as being useful before we knew how to start one. We probably figured out how to move and maintain a fire before learning to start one from scratch.
Yar. It's kind of hard to imagine someone figuring out a bow-drill before they figured out "I can just grab a burning stick from this wild fire and keep the coals alive indefinitely".
But who knows? It's all speculation, maybe they did. You rub things together, they get warm, fire is warm, people are smart. Anything is possible.

I'm sure I've seen a couple examples of chuds using neanderthal DNA as proof that they're genuinely a different species from the rest of the planet.

Wow, that's a new one to me. :galaxy-brain:

My understanding is that it was considered pretty good for the time it was made, but science marches on.
And yeah, various content warnings, definitely read a summary before you watch it.

also the sex stuff was icky

Is that the one where the female lead gets raped over and over? Might want to put a content warning and spoiler tag on that.
What, on just mentioning the movie title?
