The Neandertal EnigmaFrayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

so red heads should be considered a protective class and be listed as a minority and get special treatment since they are neanderthals.
South Park had a field day with “gingers.” This would make for another hilarious episode.
Did they have pupil-less eyes and say “hot alligator” and “leaping lizards” a lot?
South Park Neanderthal Ginger Ping!
(Actually, I like redheads)
I DO NOT want to start an evolution argument here but.... Modern chimpanzees the ancestors of humans and Neanderthals? I don't think so. Evolutionary theory posits common ancestors to great apes and humans, but saying that humans descended from chimps is horribly sloppy science.
Genesis 25:25
25 The first to come out was red, and his whole body was like a hairy garment; so they named him Esau. [a]
Footnotes:
Genesis 25:25 Esau may mean hairy ; he was also called Edom, which means red.
Genesis 27
11 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “But my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I’m a man with smooth skin. 12 What if my father touches me? I would appear to be tricking him and would bring down a curse on myself rather than a blessing.
O can donate to any blood type (universal donor) but can only receive type O in return.
Swing back to Neanderthal times: Neanderthal mother with pure Type O mates with other than O - fetus develops with type A (or B or AB) blood. Mother’s body forms antibodies attacking the A (or B or AB) as foreign substance - first child is born fine, but subsequent O to A (or B or AB) mating results in those same antibodies formed from first pregnancy, attacking fetal A (or B or AB) blood from second pregnancy.
Modern day: Mother requires transfusions to successfully carry subsequent pregnancies with same mate.
Back to neanderthal days: no transfusions avail, then death of mother or death of fetus? with subsequent mating to same mate.
Question to consider: Did crossbreeding with other than O blood types cause extinction of neanderthal female species (death from complications of pregnancy), or cause an inability of cross-bred females to carry to term (inability to provide subsequent generations of neanderthal) because of incompatibility of fetal blood type to maternal blood type?

carrottop was a caveman!
And like red-haired stepchildren they were beaten.
