Are you saying they are dumb? Isn't that racism? You are looking down at "others" because they are different.

As to "conceptualize" - well, that's the point of instinct. Of DNA. It is visceral, you don't think it it is just innate.

You know you should research stuff like that before you post it. As a matter of fact Neanderthal had a brain 300 CM larger than ours. Homo sapiens had a crainal capacity between 1300 and 1500 CM and Neanderthal had a cranial capacity between 1500 and 1800 CM.

Neanderthals are known for their large cranial capacity, which at 1600 cm3 is larger on average than that of modern humans. One study has found that Neanderthal brains were more asymmetric than other hominid brains.

No one really knows what happened, but they do know that we interbred with them.

We brought more advanced tool sfrom Africa into Europe when we migrated, but anthropologist Tells us the Neanderthals had no trouble copying them.

They were ambush hunters and we could kill from a distance with our throwing sticks.
