Yes, but did they have a “Rime”?
But these went extinct when they became known as NeanderFALLS.
It’s beginning to look as though they were superior to humans, until they were interbred out of existence.
They certainly had a larger volume brain case.
No, they rode on the backs of dolphins.
Since their cranial capacity was larger than ours (albeit distributed differently) and there’s evidence they were aware of an afterlife I have no problem believing they were anything but “stupid brutes”.
The Mediterran Basin being dry land is not beyond possibility. Scientists do not believe that it has been so in recent history at least not during the time of Neanderthals but I suspect they are wrong on this count. There are several indicators.

“At the narrowest part of the Straits, there are mountains placed to form barriers to the entrance on either side, Abyla in Africa, and Calpe in Europe, the boundaries formerly of the Labours of Hercules. Hence it is that the inhabitants have called them the Columns of that god; they also believe that they were dug through by him; upon which the sea, which was before excluded, gained admission, and so changed the face of nature.[36]”
Neanderthals swimming across the Mediterranean......no way.....all that hair would clog up the Strait of Gibraltar and there’s not enough drain cleaner in the world to clear out that kind of mess.
They were marooned on those islands when the Costa Isinka ran aground there.
That's been a contention of mine for some time. The Med was severly dessicated during the Ice Age and was refilled between 12-7k years ago. Once the Med was refilled, the Black Sea refilled.
Refugees from 'all over the world' were talking about rising water everywhere.
