Did neanderthals have a soul like we do?
I don’t know where Neanderthals fit into Salvation history. It could be that they had limited souls (similar to, but greater than animals), but this sounds like a question for Jimmy Akin’s Mysterious World : )
Peace to all,
If Neanderthal follow the faith of Abraham, they would first need a sacrificial system to save the spirit from perishing and they would need some sort of water baptism to transform moral Neanderthal flesh becoming immortality in a New Andrethal Body. There would also have to be a Neanderthal Mother receiving intelligence from Neothal family powers conceived through her son for Mortal Nature. Spirit Salvation would be complete awaiting spirit incorruption of the spirit from sacrifice through penance forgiven to be able to become again through both natures, spirit and life becoming again glorified and transfigured in One Neoandro Body Holy Spirit Family One God in being.
Yes, because they were human (they never evolved from any other animal), but there’s a reason why they looked the way they did. On December 30th, 1946, in a transcript dictated to Maria Valtorta by Jesus, He elaborated on the Nephilim, or Neanderthal, which you can read in The Notebooks: 1945-1950.

More than likely I would say yes. But I’ve always wondered if Adam and Eve were neanderthals. I struggle with this, cause, in one sense it would make sense. The first woman and the first man being neanderthals. However, they were with God, and God told them not to eat of the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil (Which never made any sense to me. Why would you deprive your own Creation of knowledge of any sort? God wouldn’t want a bunch of ignorant people living on this Earth, even though right now that seems to be the case.) But who knows? God could’ve spoken in a different way, through symbols or something else. So I dunno, I’d like to think Adam and Eve were at least coherent and they could innerstand certain concepts, but who knows? All I know is God was able to communicate with them.
