We tend to think of Neanderthals as one species of cavemen-like creatures, but now scientists say there were actually at least three different subgroups of Neanderthals.

Evirowackos, practitioners of the religion of peace and career politicians I think you're really close. "Envirowackos (including PETAites), moslems and democrats" is how I'd phrase it.

Not nearly as evolved as Neanderthal. Homo erectus maybe.

Neaderthals were very strong.

Thier skeletons show injuries (presumably from warfare or hunting) that evidenced physical courage.

Democrats lack physical courage; this cowardice is part of why they are liberals.
