Why is the disappearance of the “Neanderthal” Man 30,000 years ago, significant today? (Part F)
In the last part of our article (Part E) concerning the disappearance of the Neanderthals 30,000 years ago, we focused on the “effective” and “creative” ways through which the Cro-Magnons utilized their “human abilities” and “human ingredients”(human DNA) which were at the disposal of the Neanderthals,but were ignored by them. This “unimaginative human specie”(Neanderthal), with its “one-dimensional” and “limited” attitude to life,had as its “sole preoccupation”, its own “personal physical survival” and its “personal gene procreation”, similar to the “instinctual drives” of all living creatures, including those of the “higher mammals” such as the apes, the whales, the elephants, the tigers, the horses ,etc We also mentioned that the Cro-Magnon “human specie” experimented with its “human mental capacities” creating “abstract thinking”, a “human development” which not only refined the human tools for communication (practical and pragmatic human communication), but it also inserted into that specie’s everyday existence an “aesthetic dimension”.
In the previous sections of our article on Aristotle Onassis, we described the strategies, the personal aspirations and the ethics of this protagonist within the context of his entrepreneurial activities worldwide ,and how he exploited in an “unfeeling” and “self-centered” manner opponents, colleagues and whole societies when these human components found themselves in a weak position. In exactly the same way , Aristotle Onassis functioned in his very personal relations, whether these were within his very own family or in the relationships he created with the 3 women who made a real imprint in his life; Athina(Tina) Livanos, Maria Callas and Jackie Kennedy.
