View submission: Did Neanderthals make elaborate cave paintings?
It could be that Neanderthals, since they lived in small families, had to be able to learn and know everything necessary to survive. This became quite complex. Modern humans lived in much larger and diverse groups and so could specialize and not actually know how to do everything. Modern humans did not need the bigger brains.
There's nothing here!
