Please cite these fictional studies.

Like I've said, unless you're being deliberately deceptive, is that you've misunderstood studies showing that:

1) Humans aren't descended from Neanderthals, something long believed in the scientific community anyway and not a shock or surprise

2) Humans have not interbred at all with Neanderthals

...as meaning there's no relation between Humans and Neanderthals. In fact we had a common ancestor, but quite a long time ago, in the 500,000-700,000 year range.

You must be slow, because the studies show man is not related, not descended and doesn't share a common ancestor with Neaderthals.

Here's some "fictional" studies for you:
