That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

What if Neanderthals were the superior human? They had a slightly bigger braincase, more muscular, better able to survive in the cold climates. But what if they found homo sapiens women more attractive than Neanderthal? They would preferentially take homo-sapiens women as wives, who would not be able to produce children for them unless the women mated on the side with homo-sapiens men

Neandertal skeletons are more robust....EXCEPT FOR THEIR LEGS. Leg bones and knee joints of neandertals are actually smaller and weaker than those of modern humans. This being the case, I hardly consider them superior. This is also, in part, the basis for the theory that neandertal skeletons were merely individuals of an advanced age.
