So I'm curious about why you disagreed with my post. This basically re-inforces what I was saying: Neanderthals are hominids, but probably not homo sapiens. The article doesn't refute the intelligence issue one way or another, although the comparison I referenced is speculative at best. We just don't know.
Overall, they were very much like us. Language, burial rites, all the markers of a being with an ability to create abstractions.
