Article-specifics aside, why do we always put ourselves on a pedestal?

Many modern humans are, at least in part, descended from Neanderthals.

Maybe it’s just me, but human technological superiority seems to be some combination of “enough” on the intelligence scale and “luck” (in the sense of time and place).
