I doubt there was ever a Neanderthol named Esau, but, the parallels are interesting nonetheless. Good reference MTM.

There are a few passages in the bible that if taken without needing to see them as word for word truth seem to indicate some interesting things. Of course if that passage is somehow a mention of sapiens, Neanderthal confrontation then it would have to be from 50,000 years ago and not 6,000 years. Of course almost anything can be read into passages from the bible, sadly.....
