I’ve installed from steam after downloading it the deb from the website , and steam self updates. I never had issues on mint, Ubuntu or popos for years.

I really don’t know much, and anyone should take this with a grain of salt: but in my opinion any other way of installing steam on this branch of Linux is asking for trouble

For most people, except sub Saharan Africans, we are also talking about our ancestors when talking about neanderthals. Most of those bones we see on museums are probably the great x grandfathers of many people walking past.

Obviously we have no idea what happened over huge parts of deep human pasts, Neanderthals were a sparse population to begin with, and absorbing their people into the rest of humanity just by fucking is certainly a solution

Not so sure, except for a last few holdouts in Spain about 40k years ago, who were probably whipped out by natural catastrophe along with regular humans in that area.

I think we kept diluting their gene pool by having sex with them and out breeding them.
