The article also mentions a claim that the Neanderthals died out as a result of getting venereal diseases from mating with early modern humans.

This seems likely. Owning land makes you think about your claims on other people's lives.

It seems marriage is so un-palaeolithic, but essential in a settled, agricultural society.
Of course it is, just as private property is! Who said the contrary?

Seems totally absurd!

Cause and effect are distant in time and space in complex systems, while at the same time there’s a tendency to look for causes near the events sought to be explained. Time delays in feedback in systems result in the condition where the long-run response of a system to an action is often different from its short-run response. — Ronald J. Ziegler
