Neanderthals Were Absolute Freaks Of Nature

Neanderthals had a broad nose, sloping forehead, and bony eye bridges.  I've seen humans with mild similar features as humans are quite diverse.  People of European ancestry often have a small percentage of Neanderthal DNA.

Around 50,000 years ago, Homosapiens had mostly died off due to a drought in Africa caused by an ice age in Europe.  Around 7,000 individuals lived on the southern coast of Africa and had adapted to this life.  They fished for first the first time, built the first permanent structures, and invented new tools.  As the drought went away, these humans expanded their territory at a rate of about a mile per year.  Within 2,000 years they were reaching other continents.

A skull was found in the vicinity of Isreal that was 50% Homosapien and 50% Neanderthal.  It is believed that as Homosapiens moved into Europe they sometimes bred with Neanderthals.
