Are you sure? I don't know many (ok, any if they stop to think about it) who think that Adam wrote Genesis. Sure there are those who believe that the earth is literally only 6000 yrs and the world was literally built in 6 of our 24 hour days but there is hardly a standard consensus as you can see by the responses already.
Neanderthals? Are you sure?

As someone already said there are some who think they were just another type of human. Ehh... either way it looks like they could talk.
