NOT those BUT that
The following passage is from the website as follows:
http://www.epubbud.com/read.php?g=H8AVF5J5&tocp=7
Where modern hunter-gatherers have been deprived of access to a large population of trading partners – in sparsely populated Australia, especially Tasmania, and on the Andaman islands, for example – their technological virtuosity was stunted and barely progressed beyond those of Neanderthals.
In this sentence the pronoun ‘those’ seems to represent ‘technological virtuosity’ in this context. In that case, it seems to follow that ‘that’ is better than ‘those’ in terms of number.
What do you think of my line of thought?
