- mahmud 17y agoThey were a warrior race that fed on beasts the likes of which we have never seen. Too noble to be kept in glass boxes and fed through IVs. We won the race, now let's not desecrate their remains.
- pavs 17y agoThats a philosophical question and I agree with you on that, but I was referring to stretchwithme point that they would die quickly. I am not too interested in bringing them back either, but dinosaurs on the other hand...
- jjs 17y agoThey were a warrior race that fed on beasts the likes of which we have never seen. That makes for good movie trailer voiceover, but Neanderthals were "our" contemporaries.
- endtime 17y agoWhat exactly is noble about them? They were probably savage and barbaric; the complete opposite of noble.
- chbarts 17y agoThe 'Noble Savage' myth is the last vestige of racism still taken seriously by educated Westerners. It seems harmless enough, because the stereotype is positive, but it's still an assumption about moral character based on race.
- benpbenp 17y agoThe problem with the Noble Savage myth is that it is a ridiculous romanticization, much akin to the myth of the "simple, merry country folk." The idea in itself doesn't have anything to do with the race of the savages in question.
