“Neanderthal is going to open the box. It's not going to answer the question, but it's going to tell where to look to understand all of those higher cognitive functions.”

Ok I get it. Neanderthal is going to "open the box" even though there is much very educated and scientific documentation that Neanderthal is not even related to us, quite the contrary. Does this mean that we just didn't look in the right "box?" So we did swing from trees or didn't? Everybody started out black (even though Neanderthals have never been traced to the African continent). Neanderthal is related to us or isn't? All I want to know is if my g-g grandaddy X 50 was a monkey or a Viking. The story keeps changing and everybody has a good explanation why. Junk science? Nahhhhh, surely not! Where in the "box" shall we look for the next absolute answer? LOL!

Is your objection that science has no answers which are not subject to subsequent modification? Or do you just dislike science in general?

The way you phrased your post, it would be easy to conclude that you just dislike science.

Your comment about "absolute" answers suggests a lack of familiarity with the methods of science as well.
