"Neanderthals sailed the Mediterranean. Stone tools, of the kind made by Neanderthals, were found in areas that were known to be distant islands at the time." - u/Bronesey

"A genetic association study report indicates a risk factor of the SARS-CoV-2 was inherited from Neanderthals 60,000 years ago, and is carried by around 50% of people in south Asia and around 16% of people in Europe." - u/Movie_Advance_101

"Pestera cu Oase. Oase 1 was a modern human dated between 37000 and 42000 years ago. He had approximately 5-11% Neanderthal genome, suggesting a recent Neanderthal ancestor. Oase 2, another skeleton, had approximately 6% Neanderthal genome." - u/Certified_Cichlid

"The ancestors of Neanderthals and Denisovans interbred with a superarchaic human species that separated from other human species 2 million years ago." - u/Certified_Cichlid

"The average Neanderthal man had a estimated Body Mass Index of 26.9-28.2, overweight for a modern human because of their very robust build."

"DNA data reveals that many of us are carrying Neanderthal genes" - u/CuteBananaMuffin

"Neanderthals, which were traditionally thought of as extremely primitive humans, are now believed to have been extremely intelligent, even comparable to the intelligence of modern humans. They used tools, had social structures, thrived in hostile environments, and lived long lives." - u/IanMazgelis

"Hundreds of Neanderthal footprints made 80,000 years ago, 90% from children as young as two, were found on a beach in Le Rozel France" - u/ZzzzzPopPopPop

"Denny, the first remains discovered of a half-Denisovan, half-Neanderthal human" - u/msbzmsbz

"The most recent partial Neanderthal is a four year old child buried with a seashell. The bones date around 24 500 years ago."

"The Oase skeletons were European modern humans dating around 40 000 years ago. They are also 5-11% Neanderthal, suggesting a Neanderthal ancestry."

"There are 5 species of hominids' DNA in varying amounts in modern day humans- 3 highly variant Denisovans from Asia, Neanderthal, and Sapien from Africa." - u/FazedLaser

"Neanderthals are called Neanderthals because the first specimen was found in a valley in Neanderthal in Germany. The valley was called Neanderthal and spelled Neanderthaler in German, until the spelling reform of 1901." - u/amansaggu26

"Neanderthals practiced cannibalism" - u/Horseahead

"There is clear evidence that shows empathy and care towards disabled family members within early human and neanderthal groups. Individuals who could not aid in hunting and gathering still were taken care of." - u/oefiefieuwbe

"Neanderthals had significantly larger brains than modern humans and that our intellectual superiority is actually up for debate" - u/owen__wilsons__nose

"While interbreeding occurred between neanderthals and early modern humans, the only genetic evidence of these events conserved within the human genome comes from Y chromosomal DNA meaning that all neanderthal DNA within modern humans comes from male neanderthal and female human pairings." - u/FlintKnappingWriter

"Wolf Cave aka Susiluola, a cave in Finland claiming to have evidence of Neanderthals pre Ice Age. The only known evidence in Nordic countries." - u/folksywisdomfromback

"The oldest known musical instrument, a 43000 years old flute, could have been made by a Neanderthal." - u/Dontgiveaclam
