Singing Neanderthals Continued...

Since the Neanderthals didn't advance in their tool making or ways of life it seems to me that they were more or less living mindlessly. Their methods of tool making were passed on exactly and they continued their technologies of the past through imitation so it could be argued that the Neanderthals were surviving by going through the motions of life but without a reason like religion. I think that had the Neanderthals had the mental capabilities of being a religious group more change would have occurred in their lifestyles throughout their life history.
