@Mr_Mustache Neanderthals aren't part of our lineage though. They're a separate line that died out awhile back. Well, I think we both have a common ancestor but you have to go back further for that?
There are even some theories that Homo Sapiens led to the extinction of the Neanderthals, although I don't know how much evidence there is to support those theories. But I was trying to play on those theories too in my #1 up there... as if homo sapiens "arrived" and Neanderthals started dying off...
