This isn't how it works, sorry. There is no neurological separation between Neanderthal and homo sapiens. The reason for this is that we interbred relatively quickly and assimilated. This is true for the other "kinds" of early homonids. There really is no difference by any modern standards. Like spotted vs. brown cows. So neanderthals are fully a part of homo sapiens' ancestors and genetic material.
