It would be interesting to know rough population numbers at the time of death.(-100,000). And if Neanderthals were part of the gene-pool.

Perhaps the importance of Neanderthals has been understated. Particularly their intelligence which has suffered from a baffoon image. It would be interesting to know their IQ perhaps by making comparisons with the degree of complexity in their engineering and long term planning.

And it opens up that question of race and IQ in a odd chronological way. If not race, then what?
