Neanderthals—Fully Human

Shop Now

Scientists used to think Neanderthals were unintelligent, subhuman brutes. But creation scientists have always recognized that Neanderthals had all the hallmarks of being human. They used fire, buried their dead with rituals, and used tools to hunt. They also apparently wore jewelry and make-up, bound up broken bones, divided their cave homes into specific rooms and even had hot water! With all this evidence, few scientists today think that Neanderthals were subhuman brutes.

For a time it seemed God’s Word couldn’t be trusted. But, like always, science eventually catches up with God’s Word.
