Because of the dodgy Out of Africa theory, all the prehistory books portrayed Neanderthals as dumb, ape-like brutes who could not speak. In the 80s, when I first read about Neanderthal burial customs etc., they seemed always way too complex to be nothing more than apes.

The out of africa theory is mostly dead. Multi-regional is in. Multi species. Most of us today are hybrids of those multi species. Lord of the Rings.
There is no 1 human race. The powers that be are trying to mix us all to blender into 1 race. Keeping pockets of pure breeds might be a good idea.
