Lee, I assume Neanderthal genes survive in YOU...
So why do you argue so hard that some of your genetic makeup is, according to you, defective?
If that's the case; isn't it possible your conclusion comes from the part of you that you presume is defective, & therefore the self-same conclusion IS defective?

I had an Uncle who had a curved staircase quite a lot like that in a 50 room mansion he built in 1932. He & his wife never had any children they hoped so much for...
He died in 1953.
Upon her death in 1964 we donated the mansion to a state university because it was way to expensive to live in. Remember when he built it he paid 1.5% federal Tax... when he died the income tax was 40%...

I'd say that was a form of survival...
