"Neanderthal stone tools were rudimentary compared to modern Homo Sapiens from the same period of time."

Roman chariots were rudimentary compared to a Ford Mustang...the Romans were no less intelligent than people today.

We are Neanderthals.

Every feature that is used to describe Neanderthals can be found in Modern Humans today. For example, some Australian Aboriginies have a more severe brow ridge than did the Neanderthals, etc.

“Roman chariots were rudimentary compared to a Ford Mustang...the Romans were no less intelligent than people today.”

I am comparing human and neanderthal stone tools from the same period of time. Roman chariots and Ford Mustang were a few thousand years apart. Besides even homo erectus had very intelligent tools.

“We are Neanderthals”

No we are not. Human and neanderthal are two completely separate branches of human sub species that followed two completely separate paths of evolution. We had a common ancestor and we may have exchanged genetic material but neanderthal are most definitely not our direct ancestors.

Neanderthal physical structure, bone structure and size of the skull is totally different from modern human being.
