There are mounds and mounds of Neanderthal bones in Europe, the lack of a suitable number of fossil remains is a rather ignorant and lame dodge. There is evidence that shows direct lineage of the “so called” Neanderthal to modern humans, that is what this entire thread is about, the evidence.
Moreover, there is DNA evidence that Neanderthals are not human. So the “so called” Neanderthal is, both by morphology and DNA, distinctly not human.
But if you look for supernatural explanations for physical phenomena there is no reasoning with you because you do not have an outlook based upon reason.
Your inability to deal with evidence is quite indicative of your unreasonable theological outlook.
The so called evidence does nothing of the sort. IT is by human proclamation there is a connection... simply because of similarity in DNA. Wonder now did the DNA describe these apes having green eyes or was that artist rendition just more of the faux data made to delude ape brains.
