Interesting.
I recall reading that there is evidence Neanderthals had red hair and were perhaps freckled (ginger). The story of Esau that you refer to (Gen 25:25) makes a rather big deal about Esau's red hair, "red all over like a hairy garment, they named him Esau" they even called him "Edom" which apparently (besides the literal place) means 'red pottery' in Hebrew.
I doubt there was ever a Neanderthol named Esau, but, the parallels are interesting nonetheless. Good reference MTM.
