It is no surprise to nonevolutionists.
Neanderthals could talk, walked upright, had fire, their brain was larger than ours though less developed frontal lobe, they had religious beliefs about the afterlife (as evidenced by their funerary/burial practices), and they took care of their elderly/sick (unlike some modern people). Their postcranial body was fully modern (ref Pears), and they are considered Homo Sapiens. News some years ago claimed their Mousterian tools were in some ways "superior" to the Upper Palaeolithics ones. Neanderthal tooth enamel "very similar to ... living Europeans". Kolosimo reckons there are still "Neanderthals" in modern north Africa. The caricature was based on one old man who had rickets or arthritis. AIG reckoned Neanderthals skulls were due to longevity as in Genesis?
There are finds of more modern type humans that date older than the less advanced fossil men in the supposed evolutionary tree. Progressive Neanderthals like Swanscombe are more modern be are dated before Classic Neanderthals.
The meanings of the names of the sons of Japheth in Genesis 10 maybe match the prehistoric periods with Togarmah maybe matching Classical Neanderthals.
 
"The most significant discovery in Oscar Todkopf’s career was entirely serendipitous. Last April, the Hindenburg University paleontologist was hiking in Germany’s Neander Valley when he tripped over something on a trail. Some quick digging exposed the obstacle as the tip of a mastodon tusk. But it wasn’t until a few weeks later when the entire tusk was unearthed and dated that Todkopf realized the magnitude of his find. The tusk, he believes, was a Neanderthal musical instrument. Todkopf calls it a "Neanderthal tuba." Like the bone flute discovered in Slovenia last year, the 50,000-year-old tuba predates the presence of anatomically modern humans in Europe.

Sixteen carefully aligned holes dot the surface of the six-foot-long tusk. "I think a Neanderthal master craftsman must have used a stone awl to hollow out the tusk and to punch the holes," says Todkopf. The number of holes, he says, suggests that Neanderthals used an octave scale.

Todkopf also uncovered the remains of what appear to be at least three other instruments. One resembles a bagpipe. Although the bag part disintegrated long ago, it left a protein stain in the rock. Analysis suggests it was probably fashioned from the bladder of some large animal, perhaps a woolly rhinoceros, and was at one time attached to some long, thin bones found arrayed around the impression. Todkopf also found a delicate bone triangle and a collection of hollowed-out bones of various lengths."


This was first published in Discover magazine, and was cited by Marvin Lubenow on the ICR radio show, and briefly on AIG's website before they were informed that it was an April Fool's joke.

A big tip-off was Professor Todkopf's name, which translates into English as "dead head."
