Old western Native Americans, and cowboys, out there in those desert regions somehow not dropping like flies from dehydration alone while riding hard and warring is pretty remarkable. By that metric, endless African tribes stack in. People just dont know how good we have it in the era of plastic containers and water filtration.

I had the same response to this as you. I think it's fair to assume that a group that personally kills off 10% of the world's population and concretely changed the carbon foot print of humans by how many people were killed off. There's one legend about how the group killed over 1.5 million people in 1 hour alone.

I would have said the vikings had these kind of stats been taken from the Mongols.

Neanderthals win hands down. EXTREMELY Harsh ice-age climate. Primitive technology. Mega beasts hunting them back, including likely Homo sapiens. You can't compare that to any relatively modern culture.

True, but your not a bad ass if you need a weapon.
Your just fighting like a little girl, that's afraid to lose.
Just like a scared gang banger.
I would take just about any garden variety MMA fighter against anyone mentioned above, including the neanderthal man.

I vote for DBCowboy. He once had to dress himself entirely on his own since his sad German intern, Gunther, was recovering from another well-earned beating. He truly is my hero and an inspiration for persevering through such tremendous hardship.
