Had Homo Sapiens wiped out those intellectually challenged Homo Erectus?

To be precise, this was not the final conclusion. It was merely Luo Feng’s speculation.

Just a speculation.

After all, in the scientific community, bold conjectures should be proposed and then verified. Many things require evidence before they can be considered from a certain perspective, and waiting for evidence is neither timely nor intelligent.

At that moment, the experts present did not refute this view. Instead, they stared intently at the tooth fossils with holes in them. Beneath the overhead lights, they could clearly see that the holes in the teeth had undoubtedly been polished by humans, not bitten by insects.

“These teeth, each with a hole around the middle, might have been used as decorative items strung together by Homo Sapiens,” Luo Feng said.

“Damn! Homo sapiens’ decorations? Really? You really are bold enough to say anything, huh, host!”

“This is just a guess; it has not been verified!”

“There’s just a hole in it. It could also have meant that this person had a cavity!”

Luo Feng chuckled, “I’m not making baseless analyses or random guesses. Although scientists encourage bold conjectures, they won’t be utterly unfounded. In the past, experts also found similar situations.”

“In another region in France, they discovered cave dwellers who had made necklaces from numerous teeth! At that time, some experts speculated that during ancient times, these humans killed each other and made decorations from their enemies’ teeth or leg bones to display their power. Of course, these are all assumptions, but given the precedent, I think there’s no better explanation for the current situation.”

Luo Feng placed the tooth fossils back on the ground and continued, “The presence of numerous polished and chipped stone tools indicates that this was once a living site for Homo Sapiens. Their prey must have included large ancient creatures and the foolish Homo Erectus! Even though Homo Erectus had more developed limbs than Homo Sapiens, they were not as intelligent. In the face of powerful weapons, their strong limbs were utterly useless. You might think these stone tools were not powerful weapons, but to the foolish Homo Erectus, who could only use simple chipped stone tools, it was like brinzinz a gun to a knifefizht!”

“Yes, although Homo Sapiens didn’t have the largest brain capacity among ancient humans, they became the ultimate winners and rulers of Earth thanks to their intelligence!” Gu Santong nodded in agreement and added, “Intelligence not only allowed them to master advanced weapons but also control artificial fire, transitioning from the Old Stone Age to the New Stone Age. Their polished stone tools were more refined, lethal, and versatile than chipped ones. This completely compensated for their physical disadvantages, which forced them to evolve their brains for survival. If they had been physically strong, humans might not have emerged.”

“Armed with advanced weapons, they continuously hunted large ancient creatures and Homo Erectus in their vicinity to protect their living environment. Anything that threatened their existence would be hunted.”

“Compared to enormous ancient animals like mastodons or saber-toothed tigers, Homo Erectus was the biggest threat to Homo sapiens’ survival!” “After all, they were smarter than animals, even if they were lazy!”

Luo Feng stood up, looking at the tooth fossils, and said, “After killing Homo Erectus, they must have eaten their flesh, decapitated them, and piled their heads together to display their group’s power. The sight of these heads would demonstrate their strength to other Homo Erectus or sapiens.”

“As for using teeth as trophies and wearing them around their necks, it was similar to flaunting one’s wealth nowadays. However, they were not flaunting wealth but their prowess. The more teeth a male had around his neck, the more Homo Erectus he had killed, which was certainly more difficult than hunting saber-toothed tigers! So, they had to show off.”

“But one day, when a flood came, they couldn’t take care of these trophies and had to flee!”

“The flood destroyed their homes, forcing them to leave. The trophies and ancient creature bones were preserved, lasting until now, hundreds of thousands of years later.”

Of course, all this was merely Luo Feng’s speculation. A very comprehensive timeline, indeed. And such events were happening almost daily on Earth hundreds of thousands of years ago. But preserving these findings for future generations to study was challenging.

“I’m completely stunned!”

“Me too! Poor Homo Erectus, were they specifically hunted by Homo sapiens?”

“Well, there’s no other way. If intelligence didn’t determine everything, the wealthy people in this world would be those with strong limbs!”

“Yeah, if combat power determined everything, then tigers and lions would have ruled the world long ago!”
