That's cool. I'm not trying to say they're exactly human on some technical level. It just seemed like the tone of this thread in some places thought of a neanderthal as an "it", a thing, or a live one would be like dealing with a beast or something.
Nah. There's a lot of evidence that they communicated in some way, cared for each other, used tools and controlled fire. In fact, there's some debate as to whether they should be classified as a sub species of homo sapiens (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis) or a separate species (just plain Homo neanderthalensis)
