Here is the interesting topic to me --evolution itself. Since this is your thread you may want it discussed on a separate thread, or you give your denouement of this article.

Questor, the topic of this thread is "Neanderthals". If you would like to discuss evolutionary theory, then please do it in an appropriate thread.
That said, I fell obligated to refute the gross misconception in the quoted text.
Darwin's quote came before many transitional fossils were found. He would certainly change his tune if he could see the wealth of fossil record that we have today.
Have a look here:
List of transitional fossils - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Furthermore, a fossil of *every* creature that has ever lived is an impossibility when you consider geological processes over time. The probability of fossils forming is low and requires specific conditions. It's actually quite amazing that we have recovered so many fossils.
