I sometimes think about Neanderthal tribes, and what they thought about alignment with Homo Sapiens (in truth, they didn’t; there wasn’t that much interaction and the takeover was over a longer timeframe than any individual of either species could imagine. but I still think about it).
I wonder if we could learn anything from doing a post-mortem (literally) from their viewpoint, to identify anything they could have done differently to make coexistence or long-term dominance over the newer species more likely.

They gave us some their genes.
