There is no reason to think that Neanderthals could not have had more learning potential than early humans did, and that their isolation, small group size, and lesser aggression, wasn't to blame for their extinction. Additionally, shape of skull as well as size helps to determine intelligence, as shape depicts which portions were larger and more developed. Hence why we can not only tell intelligence with skulls, but we won't be fooled just by large cranial capacity. If it were that uncertain, intelligence claims based on fossils would not exist.
If Neanderthal was human, he
NEVER demonstrated it and neither did the prehistoric people (sons of God) who had been here for Millions of years before Noah arrived, bringing the unique superior intelligence of Adam, which was like God's.
Gen 3:22 Here's the historic evidence of the arrival of the
FIRST Humans in the mountains of Ararat and valleys of Northern Mesopotamia which is also called the Cradle of Human Civilization on this Earth.

***Do the math, factor in death and disease, and there is no way ancient humans would result in 7 billion people in that short amount of time. Especially not with god killing and sanctioning the killing of so many.
There were some 1 million sons of God (prehistoric people) alive 11k years ago. Did you forget to factor in the participation of them? Add them, and what is observed Today can be realized and that is in only 11k years God has produced 7 Billion thinking reasoning descendants of Adam (Humans) on a Planet where the prehistoric people evolved from the common ancestor of Apes Millions of years
BEFORE the Ark arrived.
***To say humans have an intellect comparable to an omniscient being is pure hubris. Also, we see tons of examples of genetic changes making people less intelligent, and the heredity of intelligence is over 50% (it would be less than 10% if genes weren't a factor in intelligence). Plus, we have actively bred certain animals to be smarter, this isn't a baseless conclusion.
Since I support my views with the best and only evidence available, here is the reason for my conclusion:
Adam lived with Jesus for some 14+ Billion years, since he was made from the dust on the
3rd Day Gen 2:4-7
BEFORE plants, herbs, rain, and Trees which
GREW on the
3rd Day.
Gen 1:12 That means that Adam was made
BEFORE the first Stars put forth their light on the
4th Day. Gen 1:16
Since Adam was made BEFORE the first Stars of our Cosmos, can you tell us How long he lived since he did not die until the present 6th Day?
***Then explain how chimpanzees and humans have the same blood types, or that we can receive tissue parts from pigs.
Sure. EVERY living creature that moves was created from the WATER on the 5th Day which was some 3.77 Billion years ago, in man's time. Prehistoric people moved but they did NOT have the superior intelligence of Adam, whose intelligence was like God's,
Gen 3:22 but like EVERY other creature except Humans, they are related to the first life created in the water on the 5th Day.
Gen 1:21 Noah's grandsons, with
NO other Humans to marry, married and produced today's 7 Billion Humans (descendants of Adam) with the prehistoric people who were already here when the Ark arrived. Gen 6:4
***Why wouldn't god just make more people to prevent that from happening? Heck, such a being could easily make more people and prevent such horrific genetic issues.
Because God KNOWS how to allow a maximum number of people to have the free choice to believe in Jesus so they will wind up in Heaven, and we are just about there. There will be 10 Billion living Humans soon. Amen?
