"We are Neanderthals, they became us."

The only problem with this is that they were contemporary with modern, homo sapiens sapiens (as opposed to homo sapiens neanderthalensis). The latest neanderthal fossil is something like 28 thousand years old, and sapiens sapiens goes back 100k or so. And I have to tell you, these people were as different as dogs and cats. There's no way in hell neanderthal just morphed into modern man - especially with modern man running around side-by-side.
