      Definitely – I mean, you have lots of skeletons that look human-like but just a bit different, from a time not that long ago, with DNA that is very very very similar to humans but not quite – it’s pretty hard not to believe that neanderthals existed.

      There is a lot of evidence that they existed so yes! As Vera says there are lots of skeletons to look at that are similar to humans but also different, strongly suggesting that they existed.
