Neanderthals?

Wasn't the "Neanderthal Man" was found to be a fraud decades ago? I guess word hasn't yet reached our hippie "scientists" who've replaced scientific method with Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Perhaps you are thinking of the Piltdown Man hoax.

No, it wasn’t. There may be people who claim that it was, but they are either liars or absurdly stupid.

That was an American fossil whose name escapes me. The Neanderthal was a very advanced, extinct ape, the most advanced member of the same family as chimps and gorillas, his DNA generally described as about halfway between ours and that of a chimpanzee. The genetic gulf was far too wide for us to be descended from the Neanderthal and that also rules out all other hominids as plausible human ancestors since they were all FURTHER removed from us THAN the Neanderthal.

There has never been anything on this Earth which modern man could be descended from and the theory of evolution is basically a bunch of bullshit.

Nope, Neanderthals are quite real and not a fraud. There have been other frauds but Neanderthals are not one of them. They are also not modern humans or even related to us except that they walked upright and were intelligent to a high degree.
