    What if the reason homo sapiens out-reproduced Neanderthals is that Neanderthals were so much better at oral sex?

    When you look into modern European genetics, it is quite likely that they actually did a bit more than just kissing…

    Isn’t there a theory that one reason kissing is a thing is that it was a way for neanderthals and early humans to exchange germs / bacteria / whatever and thus help to build communal immune systems?
