They have been classified as human, with Human DNA, slightly different than ours.

It pays to keep up:

Comparisons with the DNA of modern humans and of apes showed the Neanderthal was about halfway between a modern human and a chimpanzee.

That “halfway between man and chimp” claim is complete BS, and appeared in just one — non-scientific — source, a tabloid in India.

It pays to keep up.

Make up your mind. The article you linked to in order to support your position that Neanderthals looked like apes also says "Neanderthals looked like human beings, had large brains, stood erect and used tools".

Horse Sh**. You might start reading real science instead of BS science. Half way makes no sense, since Chimps share 98.5% of Human DNA, what would half way be between 98.5 and 100%? 99%? 99.5?
