the nose is pure guesswork.

it’s soft tissue and there would’ve been no evidence of what it looked like.

same with facial hair.

Yes. People like this stuff, but it’s not knowable.

If I was black I’d be offended at the racism of worldly “scientists” filling in the gaps of their knowledge by automatically assuming Neanderthals had black features.

Also the shape of the Neantherdal skull seems more appropriate for an ape than a human.

Looks more like 18 than 8.

Lot of the soft tissue work is only speculative...

Climate change. Those cavemen - B.C. and Thor - were driving around on their one wheel vehicles.

He seems to bear a passing resemblance to Shelia Jackson Lee.
Is it possible?

Neaderthals are European, so that means modern day blacks are “Cultural Appropriating” Europeans.
