There were Neanderthals in the Americas?
Mohawk oral tradition says:

“...the Stone Giant who lived in the rocks [caves?]. Traditional enemies of the Haudenosaunee, the Stone Giants were much feared cannibals. They lived in upstate New York before the Haudenosaunee, and they resisted being destroyed. Like giants everywhere, they eventually were OUTWITTED. When they died, their bodies became stones. That is why there are so many stones all around us. These stones remind us of the Stone Giants.”

No...there were no Neanderthals in the Americas. They died out about 10,000 years before the ancestral Amerinds came to North and eventually, South America. Neanderthals mated with ancestral Europeans and ancestral Asians. Recent evidence points to Amerinds having about one-third European genes...SO: that's how the Neanderthal genes got there.

There were never any Neanderthals in Africa, thus Africans never had the chance to interbreed with them.
