This is Part 6 in a 10-part LiveScience series on the origin, evolution and future of the human species and the mysteries that remain to be solved. We are currently the only human species alive, but as recently as maybe 24,000 years ago another one ....

Some people believe George W. Bush was Neanderthal.

It is eerie to contemplate different human species living at the same time.

The problem is the great abyss between Neanderthals and humans. Are the first earthlings and the second Martians? Is this the answer to the "fallen angels"?

Kudos to you, Ingrid for binging this to light.
We are the modern result of an ancient genetic experiment to populate the Earth.( ie:Refer to Zacharia Sitchin's Earth Chronicles). Contrary to what some anthropologists speculate, I sense that the Neanderthals were far more human-like in physiology and human characteristics than they're accredited with. I postulate that they didn't survive as an intact race but intermingled with other more ferocious species, who eventually super seeded(pardon the pun) them and ultimately wiped them out.
Their burial practices suggests that they had a working knowledge of herbal medicine, a reverence for life and honour for the afterlife by they're covering the dead with red ocher and surrounding the body with flowers and herbs. They showed awe and deference for the Earth Mother.
