Maybe we can move onto more important fretting about neanderthals having "ander" in the name and therefore being automatically "othered" in German.

  Yeah and Slavic people are called that thanks to being enslaved all the time. But this thread is not about them (or Neanderthal).

    I'm being facetious: not only did neanderthals die out 40000 years ago, but they're named after the Neander valley where the first one was found. But in my opinion fretting about what we call them is as relevant to one ancient extinct group as the other. Slavs are a extant group who you can go and talk to.

    Edit: I was wrong, the word "slave" comes from Slavic people's self-ethnonym, I remembered it the other way around.
