What do you think about Neanderthal skeletons?

It is much too long to discuss how human features have changed (or evolved) over millennia, such as height, facial features, or European, Chinese, Japanese, Aboriginal features, etc. But, groupings, locations, and shared genetic traits probably played a significant part. If I remember correctly, the average Jewish height is 5'6". As was mentioned about the height characteristics of Neanderthal.

Also mentioned above, carbon dating is highly inaccurate for the stated reasons past a century or two. Things known to be only years old have been carbon-dated to thousands of years old, and Fossils can and do form in a few years, not centuries.

Then there is the biblical account, the interpretation of young earth vs. old earth, and the first few verses in Genesis one. I think the reason for Noah's flood was that all life with the breath of life and plant life had to be destroyed. The literal interpretation of Genesis 6:1-4 and the elohim were taking all they desired and producing offspring. That alone broke the "kind" barrier and probably was not limited to humanity, but also plant and animal life, IMO.

Every ancient culture worldwide has "myths" of giants, demigods, and human-animal monstrosities. How did that occur globally, all at the same time?

Genesis 10

5From these, the maritime peoples separated into their territories, according to their languages, by clans within their nations.

Do you think that they are actually Neanderthal skeletons? If they are Neanderthal skeletons then doesn't that make a literal Genesis and Exodus and so on hard to be the case? I don't think it takes long for bones to decompose in the wild and since they might be found in caves maybe that's just what human bones are like when they are decomposing in caves, or maybe they truly are Neanderthal bones. What do you think?

Maybe Cush the mighty hunter.
