If the yugas and degeneration are real how do you explain neandhertals, australopithecus, dinosaurs, etc?
They were indeed primitive and neanderthals even ate meat, therefore not spiritually superior.
Well, what's your explanation?
>ate meat, therefore not spiritually superior

How the hell were they supposed to survive without eating meat?

Even in previous ages there were other human species besides ours. The Vedas claim there to be 400,000 species of human. Even if we take some of these "species" to be racists saying different skin = different race, that doesn't reasonably account for such a high number. Lord Rama had help from a group called the Vanara that seem decidely like monkeys:
>The Ramayana presents them as humans with reference to their speech, clothing, habitations, funerals, consecrations etc. It also describes their monkey-like characteristics such as their leaping, hair, fur and a tail.[8]
As for dinosaurs - doesn't that kind of tie into yuga degeneration? Dinosaurs used to be giant, fearsome beasts. Now they're tiny things we call birds.
