Meet the Neanderthals

[Maengish]

How about some early villagers: the Neanderthals. You can find them in the badlands. Those NPC’s wont leave the biome. You can also get fire there, if you want. You can steal their stuff, but then they will follow you. If you fight them and they die, they wont come back and the fire will go out.

They will look like regular characters but will have a massiv neanderthal eyebrow.

They should also have no noses (or they should be very tiny at least)

Here is an image of a Neanderthal skull.

It would be fun to interact with them and build a new village. Like the villagers of the village.

I know Neanderthals lived in cold regions hunting mammoths during cold times. How about a cave for Neanderthals in the snow area? If you place NPCs, the merchant will suit you.

Neanderthal NPC merchants sell mammoth fur. Mammoth fur is obtained only through Neanderthal merchants. The Neanderthals used family love, funeral customs, decorations, clothing, and tools, so if they meet the number of items they demand, they will be given mammoth fur.

제가 알기로는 네안데르탈인은 추운 시기에 추운 지역에서 매머드를 사냥하며 살았다고 알고 있습니다.
눈 지역에 네안데르탈인을 위한 동굴은 어떻습니까?
NPC를 배치한다면, 상인이 적절하다고 생각합니다.

네안데르탈 NPC 상인은 매머드 털을 판매합니다.
그들은 가족애, 장례풍습, 장식, 의복, 도구를 사용했으니, 그들이 원하는 물품의 개수를 충족한다면 그들은 매머드 모피를 줍니다.

Nice idea to put them into the snow biome so they can live in the ice age
I like your neanderthal merchants idea. So you can get special items from them. either through trade, stealing or killing.

[Yang-E]

Thats good idea i like it​:heart:

[Maengish]

Uh that’s a nice idea. So either you can trade with them and life with them. Or if you kill one you have to fight all of them, because they will be enemies.

But if they have killed that one player, then they will go back to friendly again. So the next player won’t have a problem with them.

[Maengish]

Maybe the neanderthals could look a bit similar to the humans.

[Crisx08]

I honestly really like these ideas. Especially having NPCs in the game.

[WumboJumbo]

Maybe they could have dialogue and you could do quests for them and get rewards (along with trading).

[Buttercup]

Nice idea sometimes when you play within a big city, it can be a bit boring… So maybe they could have quests, that give you special items, that can only be achieved from these quests

[WumboJumbo]

Maybe there could be a quest where you have to find a lost baby.

[Maengish]

thats a nice idea for a quest. so you have to search for their baby and bring it back to them. maybe you get some mammoth clothing or ivory or some decoration for it.

[WumboJumbo]

Maybe you could bring them back a tamed bear for a huge reward.

[Maengish]

I made a small research for the Neanderthals.

Here some stuff i want to point out:
The tools they used are stones, spears and clubs.
Mammoths and caves were a thing for Neanderthals.
The leather tanning was achieved with stakes.
The cooking was the same as in game.

[Maengish]

One quest could be: making spears for them, so they can go hunt a mammoth.
And a follow-up quest could be: bring them stakes, so they can tan the leather.

[WumboJumbo]

they can go hunt a mammoth.

Would mammoths become an actual animal in the game?

I’ve heard that 1-4% of Eurasians DNA have Neanderthal ancestors as genetic evidence. I don’t remember exactly, but in a documentary that probably follows Yuval Harari’s book, Neanderthal (based on geography and genes) was described as a bright-haired white race. Having overcome the Ice Age, melanin pigment must have been suppressed for the absorption of vitamin D. (The documentary memory I saw a few years ago is not accurate.) (This does not mean that Neanderthal skins should be fixed as Caucasians, but in paleontology, skin and hair depend on imagination or correct old errors more accurately.) Korea is Northeast Asia Located in, Korean ancestors are said to have inherited their present characteristics because of the Ice Age. Because of the reflected light in the snow field, melanin pigments were required, and so on. Many people of modern humanity have inherited the Neanderthal influence insignificantly.

Koreans have strong flexibility in melanin pigment. Koreans’ skin darkens rapidly when exposed to sunlight, and bright when exposed to less sunlight. (That’s why Koreans have preferred light skin color since ancient times. Because they thought it was the upper-class skin that wasn’t working. The traditional preference for blemishes and smooth, light skin. Modern standards prefer tanned skin, too.)

나는 유전적인 증거로 유라시아인 DNA의 1~4%에 네안데르탈 선조가 남아있다고 들었습니다. 정확히 기억이 안 나지만, 아마도 유발 하라리의 책을 따라가는 다큐멘타리에서, 네안데르탈이 (지역과 유전자를 근거로) 머리카락이 밝은 백인종으로 묘사되었습니다. 빙하기를 이겨냈으니 비타민D의 흡수를 위해 멜라닌 색소가 억제되었겠지요. (몇년 전에 본 다큐라 기억이 정확하지 않습니다.) (네안데르탈의 스킨을 백인종으로 고정하자는 뜻은 아닙니다만, 고생물학에서 피부와 털은 상상에 의존하거나 오래된 오류를 더욱 정확하게 수정하기도 합니다.) 한국은 동북아시아에 위치하고, 한국인의 조상들은 빙하기 때문에 지금의 특징을 물려받았다고 합니다. 눈밭의 반사광 때문에 멜라닌 색소가 필요하게 되었고 등등. 현생인류의 많은 사람이 네안데르탈의 영향을 미미하게 물려받았습니다.

한국인은 멜라닌 색소가 융통성이 강합니다. 한국인의 피부는 햇빛을 받으면 빠르게 어두워지고, 햇빛을 적게 받으면 밝습니다. (그래서 한국인은 고대로부터 밝은 피부색을 선호했습니다. 노동을 하지 않는 상류층의 피부라고 생각했기 때문입니다. 잡티없고 매끄러운 밝은 피부가 전통적인 선호. 현대의 기준은 태닝한 피부도 선호.)

uh wow you know a lot about neanderthals im impressed

[oresti]

This is the most best idea i have heard so far. Give this man some credit
