I have heard for years who GAE was intended for. But I never heard of anyone say that the scientific evidence about human origins is more compelling or more acceptable because of GAE. YECs continue to spew their falsehoods under the guise of religion. Ken Ham continues to sell tickets to children to the anti-science Creation Museum and Ark Encounter. When is a large majority of Americans going to accept the real story of human origins? When is it going to be taught in every school without controversy?

What does any of this have to do with neandertals?

Because science curriculumās in US schools do not teach the latest results of human origins. Evolution is taught but in a most general way. Very little time is spent on hominid evolution from Australopithecus to modern human including intermating with other human species of Neanderthals and Denisovans. Teaching this will give students a better understanding of how the human race across the Earth came to be and how present racial divide of humans is not in the biological or genetic record. The study of the history of humanity should start in Africa 2 million years and go to the 40,000 years ago when one intermingled species remain. Our species settlement of Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas from an Africa origin over the past 40,000 can clearly show how skin color was an adaptation to climate and vitamin D.
