Some article I read said they thought they had found musical instruments of some sort... (maybe flutes) in association with Neanderthal remains. I can't remember clearly but I had also thought that adal-adals may have also been used by them. Now of course they had been around longer than we had at the time, but what exactly were the tools they just couldn't comprehend the use of that we had advanced to by that date?

The more I have learned about them…or at least the thoughts and theories of their culture/life style the more I wonder why they actually went extinct. They surely would have kicked our butts in a fight and seem more like people to avoid rather than pick fights with. I can't see having him as a favored item on the menu.
