How can those prints be positively identified as Neanderthal? There doesn’t appear to be any structural difference from Homo Sapiens.

If the date is correct, it's before any "anatomically modern" humans (Homo sapiens) were present in Europe. So they would be Neanderthals.

Given the soft texture, it would wash away in hours or days if it were not quickly preserved under layers.

No noodles in this one (unlike The Longest Day in Chang’an) which is Novoland Eagle Flag - both TV shows with someting like 56 episodes - both recommended and far better than any US fare
