****GENOCIDE XXX*** A REGRESSIVE ARCHIVE VIDEO-DOCUMENTAL The Homo sapiens migration and the genocide of the Neanderthals By F. Garabitos & Dr. Fran Detower Genocide is defined today by the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG) article 2 as "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such: "Killing members of the group; Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; and forcibly transferring children of the group to another group." MIXED CLIPS OF HUMAN CONFLICT BACKDROP THE NARRATIVE There is long history of human aggression
against humans. However, determining which anthropological
and/or historical events constitute genocide, and which is merely criminal or inhuman behavior is not a clear-cut matter.
Although millions of people have die in multiple cases of genocide, partisans of various sides have justified or fiercely
disputed the interpretation and details of the event, often to the point of promoting wildly controversial versions of the
facts. STREAMED
CURRENT VIDEO AND HISTORICAL CLIPS The controversy and denial spiral from the sandy graves of today's
Darfur we back in time to recreate a similar episode of social evolution with disastrous consequences that may have occurred
about 30,000 years ago: a new wave of Homosapiens* -direct ancestors of modern humans- migrated westward across Europe and
came in face to face contact with their close an older relatives; the Neanderthals*. Soon after this encounter, this entire
species disappeared from the archeological record, leading to much speculation about their fate: did the Homosapiens displace,
out-compete, interbreed or commit genocide against the Neanderthals? CUT OUT TO INTERVIEW CLIPS Most scientists prefer to say, “no one knows what happened” while the archeological evidence suggests that ‘the Sapiens’ did all of the above. I hypothesize that, a) Homo sapiens did out-competed for resources, b) some members interbreed while committing a gruesome genocide, c) that Neanderthals were not as dumb as some may have labeled them for they have adapted and survived in the wild for over 200,000* years, and d) Neanderthals may have resisted by fighting a war of attrition till their final dismay between 30 and 20,000 years ago. HUMAN-ANIMALS COMPARATIVE CLIPS ON AGGRESSION Predatory
killing is both a genetically triggered predisposition and a socially learned behavior in all animals. Early humans learned
to kill in order to survive, protect their families and territories. Broken skull and bone's remains on display at the
Natural History museum, shows that the first hominids were both hunters and prey that could have been eaten by other carnivores.
Although we no longer need to hunt and kill to survive, fear and ignorance of the collective environment can turn humans into
killers in a matter of minutes: The collateral effects of the primal ‘hunter-and-prey’ syndrome are still deeply
in-bedded in the unconscious mind of every human child. The evolving humans mind have developed a complex mixed of linguistic
labels (target, evil, enemy, terrorist, inferior, godless, etc.) in order to justify the continual practice of killing each
other. When an individual or a culture consider itself as ‘superior’, it wrongly assumes that others are ‘inferior’
and that the ‘others’ must flee or submit to the new masters. But when the oppressed by the ‘superior’
resort to rebellion or war, such reactions of fear leading to natural resistance are used as an excuse for punitive abuse;
blaming the ‘inferior’ for getting further subjugation or provoking their own extermination. Thus, labeling a
person as the 'enemy' is cleverly used to justify the mass killing of the 'inferior' by hand of the self-labeled
'superior'.Territorially aggressive and antisocial
humans that can not control the instinctive 'flight or fight' effect of adrenalin, are not more civilized than
apes an Hyenas. REGRESSIVE HISTORICAL ARCHIVES In this video-documentary, we attempt a partial regress on the historical time-line of human ‘civilization’
tracing evidence of genocide committed by virtually every ethnic group at one time or another. Starting in the 20th
century, we examine the common heritage of fear, discrimination and imperial aggressiveness that we all share with the past
Europeans, Americans, Saxons, Russians, Nazis, Chinese, Japanese, Hungarians, Mongols, Hindues, Spanish,
Aztecs, Mayas, Native Americans, Muslims, Christians, Romans, Greeks, Persians, Arabs, Jews, Assyrians, Babylonians, Egyptians,
Nubians, hundred s of native tribes, Homosapiens, Neanderthals, Homoerectus, some apes and all territorial animals who tend
to annihilate each others to the tipping point of becoming extinct themselves. ENTER U.N. CLIPS AND SOLUTION NARRATIVE Any human powered by fear, prejudice and ignorance is a potential killer. With so many people marked for death, the challenge of preventing genocide is more urgent than ever. To reduce the continual massacre being perpetrated against our own endangered specie, we must restrain our natural tendency to conquer others by launching pre-emptive socio-academic measures in two fronts: a) provide a public education forum in which to rise individual’s human consciousness about our common anthropological heritage which may help to control the irrational fear factors and redirect our intentional actions toward peaceful, social coexistence away from brutality, aggressive violence and environmental devastation., and b) to institutionalize a worldwide enforcement agency to safeguard the collective human rights guaranteed by exemplary constitutional provisions under a system of perennial laws, “with liberty and justice for all”.

GROUP 1: EXPLORING MIGRATION
OF THE HOMOSAPIENS Around 150,000* years ago Homo sapiens emerged as a new migratory species, co-descending from homo-erectus, most likely in central East Africa, and from there migrated into the Middle East, South Africa, Europe, central Asia, and finally crossed over into the Americas*. In the comparatively short time that Homo sapiens have existed, they have populated the entire globe. Many scholars think innovations like; language, creative arts expression and sophisticated tool making helped modern humans gain a distinctive advantage over other hominids and eventually left all others behind or drove them out of existence. Homo Sapiens’s lineages have much more endurance presence than others perhaps because when they migrated into an area they actually claimed the territory by killing and forcedly displacing other hominids already there*. This alpha male aggressiveness and dominant characteristic has been constant from generation after generation to present day. Analysis of DNA suggest that Homosapiens, Cro-Magnons and Neanderthals did not descend from each other but were around 99.5%* the same after co-descending from a common ancestor. The contrasting similarity between chimp and a human is about 98.7%* and between two random people from any race today is 99.9%*. The genetic spectrum shows that all humans living today, all races and ethnic groups on planet earth, are direct descendants of the dominant Homosapiens*. Indeed we are all 'almost' brothers, yet some continue to fabricate weapons and create the conditions to kill each other. GROUP 2: FORCED MIGRATION OF THE NEANDERTHALS In 1856, when workers digging for lime found unusual bones in the Neander Valley of western Germany*, they thought they had discovered an ancient cave bear. Eight years later, these bones were classified as the remains of a previously unknown human species; Homo Neanderthalensis*. Early humans began spreading out from Africa around three million years ago with several waves of migratory descendents (from homo-erectus) heading toward Asia and Europe*. The Homo-Neanderthalensis* were a remarkable group that continually existed for more than 200,000 years in the rugged terrain and harsh climates of Western Europe.. They had brains as large as modern humans, and were outstanding toolmakers. But they apparently did not develop a comprehensive language, create art or think symbolically. Their brains were at least as big as modern humans, although there were physical differences; the frontal lobes were smaller, suggesting they may not have been as adept at planning, while the rear of the brain was larger, suggesting keener sight than modern humans. Some may suggest they were dim-witted but there is no evidence that Neanderthalis had less brainpower than Homo sapiens*. Their stocky stature was chiefly a useful adaptation trait considering they lived through the cold of the Ice Age. Their bodies were short and powerfully built, with bigger noses and receding foreheads. Being squat reduces a creature's surface area, and so less heat is lost from the body. But climate may have played only a part though, some scientists* believe the Neanderthal's squat form favored their lifestyle of limited roaming with regular and physical wrestles with other animals hunted as their prey. An archeological site in Krapina, of modern Croatia*, has yielded hundreds of Neanderthal fossil fragments from multiple individuals. Some of these fossils have cut marks made by sharp stone tools, which could be a sign that these Neanderthals practiced some form of cannibalism or were exposed to vicious combat attacks*. In the 1950s, scientists recovered the remains of nine Neanderthals at Shanidar Cave in Iraq*. One adult male had arm bones that were severely deformed, indicating he had suffered from a major disability, perhaps since childhood. Some researchers believe this individual would not have survived long without the help of others—and that the Neanderthals lived in social groups that nurtured family bonds, took care of their sick and buried their dead. From around 25,000* years ago there were no more Neanderthals left in Europe. There is strong anthropolical evidence that Homosapiens just replaced them. This evidence comes from comparative migration data and the little bit of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) that scientists have managed to pull from a few fossils*. THE OLDEST GENOCIDE IN HUMAN HISTORY Based on the previous anthropological and historical records we can infer that when Homo sapiens migrated through the Middle East, Neanderthals were already in Europe for over 200,000 thousands years before their arrival. These two surviving groups of the hominid family may have come in frequent contact, beginning 35,000 years ago. Although they made stone tools, used fire and had comparable brains, they were similar yet different to each other; the Neanderthals were likely to be matriarchal, robust upper body with heavy brow ridges and forward-projecting faces, while the Homo Sapiens were patriarchal, taller and lighter-boned with smaller, less protruding faces. Certainly there was a family resemblance, yet they did not get along well enough or one to survive. I venture to conclude that the migratory arrival of our modern human relatives to Eastern Europe stands as the smoking gun that triggered the demise of the Neanderthals. It is my assertion that 30,000 years ago, our Homo sapiens ancestors were as belligerent, territorial and fearfully aggressive as contemporary tribal nations. Indeed, these early human exhibited virtually the entire blueprint of dominant behavior that characterizes the warring people of today. Spanning over thousand of years in constant migration, the Homo sapiens systematically supplanted Neanderthal communities in similar factions as present European settlers displaced the natives in the American continent. Primitive stone tools and remnants from wood fires recovered from the Gorham's cave in 2006, on the area of Gibraltar, suggest Neanderthals found refuge there, and may have clung to life for thousands of years after they had died out somewhere else. Previously uncovered remains lead scientists to believe the Neanderthals died out some 35,000 years ago. However, carbon dating of charcoal fragments excavated alongside spear points and basic cutting tools indicates the cave was home to a group of around 15 Neanderthals at least 28,000 years ago, and possibly as recently as 24,000 years ago*. Elsewhere during that time, glaciations caused violent lurches in climate that turned fertile pastures into barren wastelands. But at Gorham's cave, and along the nearby coast, the climate would have been calmer, maintaining what may be called a "Mediterranean Serengeti", with red deer, leopards and giant hyenas roaming between watering holes*. For the fleeing families, there was no better place to run to; limited in one side by the sea, this area offered them plenty of food, water and a breathtaking view. The archaeological evidence supports the idea that, after being forced to relocate across Europe, these caves in the Iberian Peninsula* may have been Neanderthals last surviving outpost. * All archaeological references are publicly displayed by the London Museum of Natural History (www.nhm.ac.uk) the American Museums of Natural History (www.amnh.org) and the Gibraltar Museum (www.gib.gi) The concluding points of view and social evolution theories are the sole opinion of the author @: www.richteacher.net
