I, for one, would be delighted at the thought that our Neanderthal cousins were just as intelligent as us but expressed that intelligence differently.

Re: Earliest tools
Not too mention that chimpanzees make tools -- they strip leaves off of twigs to use them to get into termite nests, for example, and chew leaves to make "sponges" to get at water in the hollows of logs.
​
I would imagine that this technology would have developed even further before anyone got the idea of shaping rocks.
