Are white people related to neanderthals?

Question

i have noticed some white people look like neanderthals? they will have like those weird low foreheads and small beady eyeballs and light brown hair, kind of like in the geico commercia. some people really look like that. i wondered if they didnt die out. maybe they mated with white people. this is not meant to be racist as im white myself.

Answer 1

yes they are
