Was the neanderthal actually sophisticated and civilised,even alien?

Question

The Neanderthal and its misrepresented history and definition.Could the neanderthal actually have been not the cave man as depicted by so called scientists but actually a highly sophisticated and civilised being? Many will be surprised to know that their brains were larger than off present day home sapiens and furthermore we as humans do not share any common DNA,a bit strange considering we were supposed to be sharing the same planet,sounds like a bit of alien race activity going on here and did they get wiped out,or did they just leave?

Answer 1

We don't have common DNA? In fact, the most recent studies have suggested that humans and neanderthals shared 99-99.5% DNA, which makes them our closest known relatives. No one knows why they became extinct (roughly 30,000 years ago) but there are lots of theories. Based on Neanderthal habitats, it's generally agreed that they were not as intelligent as homo sapiens, but, of course, neither are chimps and gorillas - and they're still around (but in danger of extinction thanks to us). The neanderthal mystery lives on.

Answer 2

Their culture would have been different certainly yet the two species co-existed for at least 10,000 years in Europe. Nothing alien going on- -just two independent hominids. There is obviously speculation that the homosapiens somehow erradicated the Neanderthals or overwhelmed their hunting grounds. This remains pure speculation until more archeological evidence is discovered.

They certainly didn't leave. .their last hold out was the Gibralter area. They simply ceased and became extinct after the last Ice age.
