Neanderthals are human!
I believe that, hazarat Adam (a.s.) walked on earth about 400000-500000 years ago.
BAD IMAGE,
Ian Tattersall, Head Dep. of Anthropology, American Museum of Natural History, “But quite as important as new Neatherthal finds in the 50’s was the recognition,
finally, that the stooped-shoulder, bent-kneed, stereotype of these humans created by Marcellin Boule was totally false.” The Fossil Trail, 1995, p.101
EVOLUTION OR VARIATION?
"...a Neanderthaler is a model of evolutionary refinement. Put him in a Brooks Brothers suit and send him down to the supermarket for some groceries and
he might pass completely unnoticed. He might run a little shorter than the clerk serving him but he would not necessarily be the shortest man in the place. He might be heavier-featured,
squattier and more muscular than most, but again he might be no more so than the porter handling the beer cases back in the stock room." EVOLUTION, Time-Life Nature Library.
REHABILITATED
, Richard Leakey “…to refer to someone as ‘Neandertal’ was and still is to some extent, an intended insult. Rehabilitation, however, began in the mid-50s when two
anatomists, William Straus and A.J.E. Cave, undertook a second reconstruction …a body which, though somewhat stocky, was essentially like modern man’s. …The brain is slightly larger
than that of modern humans… The Neandertals average height was around 1.67 meters (5 feet 8 inches). …is unquestionably Homo sapiens. …The arrangement of flowers was not
random: they were carefully placed around the body… A concern for the fate of the human soul…ritual burial, they speak clearly of a deep feeling for the spiritual quality of life...”Making
Of Mankind, 1981 p.148, 153
LARGER BRAIN,
William Howells, Harvard, “The Neanderthal brain was most positively and definitely not smaller than our own; indeed, and this is a rather bitter pill, it appears to
have been perhaps a little larger.” , “averaging 1400 cc,” Europeans about 1200 cc, MANKIND SO FAR, p.165
“FULLY HUMAN,”
Mat Cartmill, Duke U., President, Amererican Association of Physical Anthropology, “I tend to think they [Neanderthals] had fully human language. After all, they had larger brains than those of most modern humans, made elegant stone tools, and knew how to use tools.” Discover, 11/98, p.62
MODERN CAME FIRST,
O. Bar-Yosef, Peabody Museum, Harvard, B. Vandermeerch, U. Bordeaux, “Modern Homo sapiens preceded Neanderthals at Mt. Carmel. ...modern looking H.
sapien had lived in one of the caves some 50,000 to 100,000 years ago, much earlier than such people had been thought to exist anywhere. ...The results have shaken the traditional
evolutionary scenario, producing more questions than answers.” Scientific American, p.94, 4/1993
DNA,
“The amount of diversity between Neanderthals and living humans is not exceptional.’” Scientific American, 1/1998 “…modern humans…could reconstruct 35 to 70 percent of
the Neandertal genome.” Scientific American, February 2015.
PROTEIN,
“…extracted and sequenced protein from a Neanderthal from Shanidar Cave, Iraq…” Matched! Proceedings Of The National Academy Of Sciences, March 8, 2005, p.62
NEANDERTAL FLUTE,

Trinkaus [Washington U.] says he has not seen evidence of any kind of difference, either biological or social, between humans and Neanderthals.”Live Science, March 17, 2008
UNWARRANTED IMAGE
“They have an unwarranted image as brutish and uncaring…The study, by the University of York, reveals that Neanderthal healthcare was…seen as a compassionate and knowledgeable response to injury and illness. …challenging our notions that they were brutish…” Science News, March 13, 2018
SAILORS
“…voyaged to remote islands…Now we are talking about seafaring Neandertals. It’s a pretty stunning change.”Science, April 27, 2018
