Read the article: “Neanderthals are still Human!” Our quest to definitively answer this question “Are Neanderthals human ancestors?” may yet be in the realm of the unknown. It is only through our inquisitive minds and our persistent probing into the knowledge of science will we ever find the true answer … some day. Perhaps it’s you. You could be that budding scientist that will uncover the knowledg
