From new findings, we know that the Neanderthals were carnivores - meat-eaters like wolves, where meat constituted 85% of the normal diet. Examination of the brain lobes also introduces a rather interesting note - Neanderthals seem to be missing the area of the brain (the fore-lobe area) that is responsible for controlling aggression. Combine that with the ancient tales of Orcs, goblins, etc and things start to look interesting (well, to me anyway! ;) ) Since I have always wondered about the rather abrupt extinction of the Neanderthal after contact with Modern Humans, perhaps Neanderthals were not "picky" about [b]WHAT[/b] they ate, were extremely aggressive, and considered the newcomers just more meat for the evening fireplace. Perhaps our ancestors were engaged in a bitter war of survival - perhaps we will learn more about this from what is found in the Genome. In any regards, I am really looking forwards to what they are able to find out!
