It is a problem for Ross because Ross wrote:
"From a biblical standpoint, I see Neanderthals as one of
the nephesh, soulish (not spiritual) creatures God made before he
made humans. In other words, the Neanderthals must have been a
bipedal mammalian species created a few tens of thousands of
years before Adam and Eve. Neanderthals became extinct, possibly
as the rusult of some climactic upheaval, at least several
thousand years before the creation of Adam and Eve."~Hugh Ross,
"Link with Neanderthals Cut by Computer," Facts & Faith, 9:3, 3rd
Qtr. 1995, p. 2
Since Neanderthal is not to be considered human, when Neanderthal shows
evidence of an artistic spirit, it becomes a problem.
