Interesting question -- If a Neanderthal were alive today and were to shave and wear a suit, and walked in the middle of New York City, would we recognize him as Neanderthal?

“The fact that Neanderthals could adapt to new conditions and innovate shows they are culturally similar to us,”
Uh...Neanderthals are dead.
Any bets on how much of your tax money this guy received (I won’t say “earned”) for doing something that has absolutely no application to anyone on the planet currently?

Nor surprising.
Take the Mayans for example. They were famous for human sacrifices to their gods but then they were also mathematicians, architects etc.
Many more ancient civilizations have similar histories as well as ironic legacies,

Neanderthals never became extinct. They are part of us today. We are the combination of both species of human.

I have known and worked with a number of individuals who if you put all of the hair on them and they wore a skin for clothing they would be indistinguishable from a Neandertal. Some of them did not need to add any more hair to their bodies.

LOL Naw, I’ll pass on that, too.
Just think, Helen might have been a beauty queen at that time.

Forehead too high, chin too prominent, not hairy enough.

Think neanderthals are no longer with us? Look at the faces of the average NFL secondary.
