The lead is excellent and includes many details, and also serves to outline the rest of the article. However, the lead is overly detailed and long (nearly six paragraphs long). All of the information in the article have citations. Images are well-captioned. Links work (no broken links). No issues with equity gaps. Tone neutral. Controversy over Neanderthal species status is covered with multiple perspectives represented. No grammatical issues. Article is well-written (concise, clear). Overall article is well-developed and does not need much if any improvement.
