Gone are the days of scoffing at ape men. It used to be you would have JWs ridicule evidence of Neanderthals existence. Now the WT can't deny they existed so they say,well they were just another race of man. Does this make sense? From what father? The bible lists the lines of descendants. Which one was the weird guy with a sloping forehead and other abnormalities? Active JWs, where did Neanderthals come from?

Were Neanderthals Like Us?
“The long-held view that Neanderthals were inferior to Homo sapiens is changing as, one by one, capabilities thought unique to us have been linked to them,” says New Scientist. Recent discoveries indicate that Neanderthals built shelters and hearths, controlled fire, wore clothes, cooked food, made tools, and created glue to attach spear points to their shafts. There is also evidence that they cared for sick individuals, wore symbolic ornaments, and buried their dead. According to Erik Trinkaus, professor of physical anthropology at Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A., “ Neanderthals were people, and they probably had the same range of mental abilities we do.”
the point of my quoting Watching the World above is not to say I agree they were people as Erik Trinkaus is quoted. But rather to show, there is no attempt to discredit fossil evidence or argue they did not exist. It is admitted they exist. Now the last remaining leg for them is to say they were a race of man descended from Adam. Wow.
