Understanding this quote
The quote questions the simple picture of Neanderthals as “brutish individuals.” It suggests that this view may be too harsh or limited, and that they may also have been “quite sensitive.” The repeated “maybe” keeps the statement cautious: it raises an alternative way of understanding them without presenting it as certain.
