Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

"neanderthal ancestors", "that day", "peace talks"
you need to read about Neanderthals.
Neanderthals never met ancestors of homo sapiens those apes in the strip seem to represent.
they're probably assimilated and not killed to extinction in a war
That's what people USED to think. Turns out they not just met, but interbred.
yes, according to researchers, they did meet homo sapiens and interbred
my thinking was that if both homo sapiens and Neanderthals evolved from "h. heidelbergensis" than Neanderthals met h. sapiens but not their "ancestors"
