An article in the Independent was pretty cool, but that's off limits, so I went to their source.

The upshot is that some Neandertal art has been erroneously attributed to Cro-Magnon (I would say, due to biases).

Original title was too long for the system, but was "Analysis of Aurignacian interstratification at the Châtelperronian-type site and implications for the behavioral modernity of Neandertals".

Koko, the first gorilla taught to sign, is now about 35 years old and is said to have an IQ around 100. That's more than bright enough for most human activities and you'd assume the same was true of neanderthals.
