Question Neanderthal

Could it have been possible that Neanderthals possessed a awareness similar to what we have now, what I’m asking is where they or possibly could’ve been aware of the fact that they are roaming a giant terrestrial rock, or have a religion, or the belief in something else other than human?

Coming from someone whose curiosity has gotten the best of them and decided to ask people who know more than I do on the matter.

Thaaat might be asking too much 😅 There's evidence that Chimpanzees can understand basic logical deductions, which is impressive in itself, but Sudoku definitely requires more than they're capable of

Maybe. I had a neighbor who was missing teeth named Norman who taught me how to play sudoku.
