Extremely informative. Tl;dr neandethals were smarter than we thought and were basically on par with early homo sapiens. Plus they interbreeded so they're part of us too.

Sometimes Wrahg Sykes lost me in her vety flowery and dramatic intros, but I get why she included them

Enjoyed it! It goes into detail on several topics such as tool making among Neanderthals, and gives a nice overview of what we know now about our cousins.
