This is a meaningful article, but the title / thesis that humans triumphed because of tool making ability does not represent the consensus of archeological findings at the time when Neanderthals disappeared. Evidence also points towards the cro-mangon ability (vs neanderthal) to predict their environment. Specifically the ability to use the cycles of the moon to predict patterns of large game and organize group hunts allowed the cro-magnon to out-resource their Neanderthal peers. Prediction allowed for expanded social ability - not just tooling - which has a different notion of cognitive capability.
