Elephants due to their complex family system, compassion to fellow elephants and other animals including humans, burials and 100cm dicks.

Joyce Poole documented an encounter told to her by Colin Francombe on Kuki Gallman's Laikipia Ranch. A ranch herder was out on his own with camels when he came across a family of elephants. The matriarch charged at him and knocked him over with her trunk, breaking one of his legs. In the evening, when he did not return, a search party was sent in a truck to find him. When the party discovered him, he was being guarded by an elephant. The animal charged the truck, so they shot over her and scared her away. The herdsman later told them that when he could not stand up, the elephant used her trunk to lift him under the shade of a tree. She guarded him for the day and would gently touch him with her trunk.

In India, an elephant was helping locals lift logs by following a truck and placing the logs in pre-dug holes upon instruction from the mahout (elephant trainer). At a certain hole, the elephant refused to lower the log. The mahout came to investigate the hold-up and noticed a dog sleeping in the hole. The elephant only lowered the log when the dog was gone.

Cynthia Moss, an ethologist specialising in elephants, recalls an event involving a family of African elephants. Two members of the family were shot by poachers, who were subsequently chased off by the remaining elephants. Although one of the elephants died, the other, named Tina, remained standing, but with knees beginning to give way. Two family members, Trista and Teresia (Tina's mother), walked to both sides of Tina and leaned in to hold her up. Eventually, Tina grew so weak, she fell to the ground and died. However, Trista and Teresia did not give up but continually tried to lift her. They managed to get Tina into a sitting position, but her body was lifeless and fell to the ground again. As the other elephant family members became more intensely involved in the aid, they tried to put grass into Tina's mouth. Teresia then put her tusks beneath Tina's head and front quarters and proceeded to lift her. As she did so, her right tusk broke completely off, right up to the lip and nerve cavity. The elephants gave up trying to lift Tina but did not leave her; instead, they began to bury her in a shallow grave and throw leaves over her body. They stood over Tina for the night and then began to leave in the morning. The last to leave was Teresia.

Elephant researcher Martin Meredith recalls in his book an occurrence of a typical elephant death ritual as witnessed by Anthony Hall-Martin, a South African biologist who had studied elephants in Addo, South Africa, for over eight years. The entire family of a dead matriarch, including her young calf, were all gently touching her body with their trunks, trying to lift her. The elephant herd were all rumbling loudly. The calf was observed to be weeping and made sounds that sounded like a scream, but then the entire herd fell incredibly silent. They then began to throw leaves and dirt over the body and broke off tree branches to cover her. They spent the next two days quietly standing over her body. They sometimes had to leave to get water or food, but they would always return.

Occurrences of elephants behaving this way around human beings are common throughout Africa. On many occasions, they have buried dead or sleeping humans or aided them when they were hurt.

Meredith also recalls an event told to him by George Adamson, a Kenyan Game Warden, regarding an old Turkana woman who fell asleep under a tree after losing her way home. When she woke up, there was an elephant standing over her, gently touching her. She kept very still because she was very frightened. As other elephants arrived, they began to scream loudly and buried her under branches. She was found the next morning by the local herdsmen, unharmed.

George Adamson also recalls when he shot a bull elephant from a herd that kept breaking into the government gardens of Northern Kenya. George gave the elephant's meat to local Turkana tribesmen and then dragged the rest of the carcass half a mile (800 m) away. That night, the other elephants found the body and took the shoulder blade and leg bone and returned the bones to the exact spot the elephant was killed.

An elephant, Raju, who had been in captivity for 50 years in the Uttar Pradesh region of India, was freed in a midnight raid by conservationists on July 3–4, 2014. During the release, it was noted that the elephant appeared to be crying, as tears were seen coming from his eyes.

A baby elephant called Zhuangzhuang was rejected by its mother in 2013. Caretakers thought it was an accident so they treated his injuries and returned him to his mother only for her to reject him again. Caretakers took the elephant away and he cried for 5 hours before the staff could comfort him.

Which is odd, since Neanderthals didn't have blond hair nor blue eyes (they might have had shades of red hair, though).

Trying to assign our modern races to an entirely different species of human that lived tens of thousands of years ago is retarded.

He looks like somebody who's been outside all day without any sunscreen. Neanderthals were probably on the tan side naturally to begin with, since pale skin on humans is a more recent thing to begin with.

>epicanthic folds for the eyes where needed (From South Africa to East Asia)
>lean to stocky bodies, wooly to straight hair, etc

There could be "white" Homo erectus and "Asian" Homo denisova, depending where they live.

>>1549490
White skin is mostly to take advantage of sunlight for vitamin D, and wouldn't be needed in other human populations who are able to get all the vitamins they need from what they eat. That's why Inuit people are still tanned instead of pale. Since Neanderthals and other human species were still hunter gatherers, and had better and more varied diets because of it, they were probably as white as your average Inuit today.

>>epicanthic folds
>>wooly to straight hair,
We don't really know why either of those became a thing and neither seems to really give any advantage. They're probably just from random chance and spread for no real good reason, or spread because of sexual selection (people with straight hair and epicanthic folds were seen as more desirable to mate with).


Most likely, other human species had mixes of features, some of which would be familiar to us, and some of which would probably be completely unfamiliar to us. These mixed and matched features probably wouldn't match up with our modern ideas of race.

Wooly hair might be helpful for cooling down.

>According to Clarence (2012), afro-textured hair may have been adaptive for the earliest modern humans in Africa because the relatively sparse density of such hair, combined with its elastic helix shape, results in an airy effect. The resulting increased circulation of cool air onto the scalp may have thus served to facilitate the body-temperature-regulation system of hominids while they lived on the open savannah.[10] Afro-hair requires more moisture than straight hair and tends to shrink when dry. Instead of sticking to the neck and scalp when damp (as do straighter textures), unless completely drenched it tends to retain its basic springiness. The trait may have been retained and/or preferred among many anatomically modern populations in equatorial areas, such as Polynesians, Micronesians, Melanesians, Australoids and the Negrito, because of its contribution to enhanced comfort levels under tropical climate conditions

>>1549513
epicanthic folds are good against harsh UV rays at sunny days in the steppe I believe.
The yellow tint in some of them, is an extra layer of fat under the skin which is an insulation against wind too I once read.

>>1554059
That sounds like reaching at best. Plenty of round-eyed people lived on the steppe and plan regions, and everyone has a thin layer of fat below the skin.

>>1554083
but in chinks it shines trough so it must be thicker I guess..
Ok the epicenthal thing isnt that clear.
Looked on the wiki were they say this::

"The reason many East Asians have the epicanthic fold is not yet fully understood by researchers. However, one of the most likely hypotheses is that they are an evolutionary adaption to harsh winds and snow, such as the conditions of the Himalayan mountain range"

>Himalaya
Which brings me to Tibetans who are a fascinating race of people, as they found a gene sequence in them no other people has which allows them to breath freely in insane highs.
