Obviously (??????) this was between Genesis 1:1 & 1:2- - - - !?!?
Interesting theory.
I do allow for the Gap theory - but I give no credence to Neanderthals.

The problem w/non-face to face communication!! My intention was to be a tad sarcastic, but obviously didn't happen.
I DO give credence to the gap theory, but it's not a hill I'm going to die defending, but this "theory" seems a bit on the comical side for me! JMHO!!

Interesting a few years ago I read about some Neanderthal skeletons found at Mt. Carmel. One had a spear point lodged in a spinal vertebrae.
I don’t think interactions between humans and these things was very peaceful.
The first evidence of bow making was 19000 years age in sri lanka , so I think it was most likely a thrown atlatal spear judging by the frontal impact and force hitting the spine from memory.
Neanderthals it is believed, did not throw spears, because they did not have the hand and flexible wrist structure. Rather they used spears two handed and rammed the spear in at close quarters. They surmise this because of the massive injuries found in Neanderthal bones, they believe caused by mega fauna.
Neanderthal technology never changed in their whole existence, which leads me to believe that they weren’t that smart.
Man with the ability to throw spears allowed him to dominate and live longer to pass on knowledge and build culture.
Neanderthal it’s said used fire but didn’t make fire.
Once man could throw spears and later use spear throwers, make fire, and tame the dog, he was unbeatable.
With the high mortality rate of Neanderthals due to injury and early death, and high infant mortality, Neanderthals were always one paycheque from extinction.
It could also possibly be that human mothers were simply better mothers, we see humans were in large numbers by comparison.
Looking at a group of 30 men spread out with throwing spears, they can kill any animal or predator you care to mention. Any creature running that gauntlet is almost guaranteed to die.
The poor Neanderthal encountering that had no chance at all.
