Leave it to dtango to make spurious connections just so he can talk of his 'great knowledge' of all things myth.
He's wrong as usual..Neanderthals were no hairier than humans.

Not only that Neanderthals went extinct 30,000 ya - so how can some myth story 14,000 ya be anything but wrong. That's some great oral tradition we got there.
Neanderthals were very much like us. So close that we interbred with them....They used pigments, made jewelry, made complex tools and buried their dead, In 2010, researchers from the Smithsonian Institution even found evidence that the Neanderthal diet included a diverse mixture of plants, and that they even cooked some of the grains.
Neanderthal, it appears, like Homo Erectus, were not adaptable. Not on the scale to which Homo Sapiens have been.
And it is debatable as to how similar Neanderthal and Sapien DNA are, and as to how much the two interacted.
We seem to have a pattern though, Neanderthal was not able to adapt to a changing world as Sapiens. So they went extinct. No evidence at all of a great conflict between the two exists.
Sapiens, well, we are now exploring Mars via remote control and mapping the DNA molecule in detail. Something about the Sapiens' Cro Magnon brain allows for this level of learning and development.
Well, in some of us at least.
2.5 percent of the genome of an average human living outside Africa today is made up of Neanderthal DNA. The average modern African has none. Nobody knows why the last Neanderthals disappeared...
Homo sapiens never evolved Neanderthal species, as these Neanderthal are more of a link of the same kind to the chimp ..... There is no ancestral species discovered for Homo sapiens , as these were created by God because God is the missing link between the species......

and what research did you have to come up with this one ?

Link to what chimp? The only link we and Neanderthals have with chimps is that we, Neanderthals and chimps arose from a common ancestor millions of years ago......Since Humans and Neanderthals have interbred, and the offspring were fertile, then they were not really a different species. Separate species cannot produce fertile offspring......Myths are strong with you....God is the missing link alright, as it has always been.

They looked much like many humans...
I wonder if there may be isolated pockets of Europeans that have an identifiable Neanderthal Heritage. Not Neanderthals but with a larger share of Neanderthal DNA than the average European has.
Surprisingly a recent study found that Asian and South American people possess an even greater percentage of Neanderthal genes.
