Not how I expected the Planet of the Apes reboot to start
With that humans possibly gone extinct due to deseases introduced on that timeline. On the other side the time travellers just bought a new desease to the current timeline.
With the time machine plot I didn't even question the massive exposed brain.
It's hair...
I thought it was just pink hair but, I like your perspective better.
that's exactly the comic this reminded me of, but I didn't remember the ending, it makes no sense
That was uh something.
These guys just fixed humanity with a hug
You could fix my humanity with a hug :')
Best I can do is a friendly tap on the back
(Dark souls style) Humanity Restored
Hug harder…. 💀
I can only imagine a The Boys scenario where it cuts their body in half from squeezing too hard.
Imagine that the hug changed the family, made them loving and supportive, and Hitler was just a recidivist incel who was destined to be hateful. Sometimes things can't be changed, some people don't want to be fixed, and some shitheads need to be rejected for who they are.
Hitler's father was quite cosmopolitan. He had a nationalist history teacher and a rough time after he was rejected from art school. Take that with a huge grain of salt since this is how he depicts it in his autobiography. I think the major part of his radicalization was in prison while he wrote Mein Kampf but that's just my opinion.
I think I read somewhere that he was supposed to infiltrate the Nazis and report on them. Instead he got radicalized.
Whoops
think I read somewhere
Doesn't make it true.
True!
So here’s a source. Wikipedia
He was an intelligence agent assigned to infiltrate the German workers party, precursor to the nazi party. It’s the first bit in the “entry into politics section”.
They should probably try to fix the issues that caused the population to vote for him.
It never about "fixing" or "killing" individuals, but about systems that do not work for some people.
I kind of think about things like this a lot because of my family. My mom's parents were amazing. My mom was amazing. Her brother.. total asshole. My dad's parents - especially his mom - were beyond awful. Out of 6 kids, only 2 turned out good, and 1 was my dad. He's told me so many times over the years how he swore he'd never be like his parents. I've wondered before how things might have turned out of my maternal grandparents had been awful and my paternal ones good. I wonder how things would have changed.
The line leading to Homo sapiens went extinct that day after trying to have peace talks with the much more aggressive neanderthal ancestors.
I think they messed up and went for the ancestors of bonobos, that's why they're so chill.
"neanderthal ancestors", "that day", "peace talks"
you need to read about Neanderthals.
Neanderthals never met ancestors of homo sapiens those apes in the strip seem to represent.
they're probably assimilated and not killed to extinction in a war
Neanderthals never met ancestors of homo sapiens
That's what people USED to think. Turns out they not just met, but interbred.
yes, according to researchers, they did meet homo sapiens and interbred
The oldest potential Neanderthal bones date to 430,000 years ago
Anatomically modern humans emerged around 300,000 years ago in Africa, evolving from Homo heidelbergensis or a similar species.
The date of divergence of Neanderthals from their ancestor H. heidelbergensis is also unclear.
my thinking was that if both homo sapiens and Neanderthals evolved from "h. heidelbergensis" than Neanderthals met h. sapiens but not their "ancestors"
