You will have to scroll down the link to see this article.

You have a lot of Neanderthal DNA. At least 99.5 percent of your DNA is identical to Neanderthal 1. Recent DNA sequencing is revealing the truth of Neanderthal, and it is time to bury all our preconceived ideas about him and start afresh allowing DNA to be our guide. We have been led to believe that Neanderthal is our ancient, hairy, brutish, ape-like, ignorant, slumped-over cousin who went extinct because he was inept. His DNA, however, is shouting out to us that this is not the case. He is 99.5 percent like us.

This 99.5 percent similarity is not based on our opinion or our analysis; it is based on published secular scientific papers. By the way, we present-day humans share this same amount of DNA, 99.5 percent, with one another 2. It does not matter whether you are European, African, Asian, American or Australian, you are all very closely related to Neanderthal. The 0.5 percent that separates us from one another and Neanderthal lies in our genetic markers. * These genetic markers provide humanity with natural variation and the ability to trace human ancestry.
DNA can and will solve the mystery of Neanderthal
So, let’s follow the Neanderthal DNA and see where it takes us in rebuilding our perception. Thanks to the work of many scientists, we now have a draft sequence of the full Neanderthal DNA 3. And thanks to several private laboratories, these DNA sequences, and genetic markers are being translated into physical characteristics. Here are several examples of what is being discovered about Neanderthal:
  • Neanderthal falls inside the variation of present-day human DNA 3; therefore, it would be difficult to conclude anything other than Neanderthal being fully human. He shares the status, of “made in the image and likeness of God” (Genesis 1:26) with us.
  • Neanderthal had less hair on his back than many present-day humans. This is due to genetic marker rs4849721. This marker is shared by Neanderthal and present-day humans. If you have a T at this marker position, you probably have less back hair than average 4. Neanderthals have the T which means that they too probably had less back hair than the average present-day human. Hmmm, so much for the hairy ape-man image.
  • Neanderthals had freckles 5. People with light skin get freckles because they have less melanin in their skin which causes uneven tanning. It appears that freckles are now in vogue. Some of our most popular movie stars have them. So, Neanderthals are not just human, but “in vogue” humans.
  • Several Neanderthal DNA sequences have genes indicative of red hair 5 and blue eyes.

You will have to read the rest for yourselves as it’s hard to paste, but basically it
speculated that the DNA shows Neanderthals, were fitter, stronger, had larger brains
and less hair than modern man. That this would account for why people lived longer
before the flood.

Other websites I looked at suggested that DNA changes occurred after the flood
which also resulted in a shorter life span. That the flood didn’t just change the
environment, it changed people too.

Although this is me speculating, maybe Noah’s family just happened to have a resessive or
dominant gene. Prior to the flood there would have been a larger gene pool, after there
was just Noah’s family.

Anyway whatever you think, Neanderthals are not the missing link, they were like us.
We didn’t evolve from apes - although I still think some of you did! Lol joking.

Myself, I'm skeptical of most secular science-especially anthropology or others like it. I've seen too many theories be accepted as truth without any attempts to validate them-to promote later theories.

The popular image of Neanderthals as I have read stems from a 19th Century find of a deformed skull that gave the impression that
they were brutish Ape like creatures. Since then many remains have been found that show the opposite. Apart from remains tools
and burial sites have been discovered.

If you want to see a large group of ''living fossils'' Watch the BBC Parliament Channel. There they perform the Brexit rituals
on a daily basis. These will possibly continue until Halloween or beyond into infinity

We also have a lot of DNA in common with earthworms. Does this mean we are part earthworm? Does this mean we came from earthworms? What it means is that we were both made by the same maker. I do agree about your postulation that our race is genetically devolving rather than evolving. If the Lord tarries too much longer, we are going to start looking like the greys.

I watched a show where they were comparing dna of modern teen humans to dna of neanderthals.

The ones who were the closest were the blue eyed, blonde haired people. That seems to go along with what you mentioned.

It was really sad bc they were sort of embarrassed by this notion. I think the idea we came from ape like beings or macro evolution is very psychologically damaging. Let alone telling a few teens they're even more related. Way to bring humanity closer together...

God made everything, so of course there are commonalities. It is the signature of the Maker. The Cambrian Explosion destroyed evolution theory and Darwinism a looong time ago. They knew they should have reprinted all the high school textbooks, but the ink was just toooooo expensive.

Neanderthals also made very amusing Geico insurance commercials back in the day too. That little lizard is kind of cheeky too but, of course, lacks the DNA modern humans, Neanderthal or otherwise.

Exodus 7v11,12 states: "But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. For every man threw down his rod, and they became serpents."

So, who's power were the sorcerers using to change rods into snakes?
