Neanderthals aren’t the stupid, primitive, and unsophisticated beings some of us might think, as evidence provided by their DNA has suggested.
In fact, evidence has also found that the closest ancient human relatives were just as capable as Homo Sapiens — the species we belong to now.
As it turns out, there has been interbreeding between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals at some point in time, leaving some of us with Neanderthal DNA up to this day.
