Neanderthals
The Fallen Annunaki narrative is that humanity has descended from animals and apes, which they modified during the Neanderthal Era to make us more advanced, therefore they are our Alien Gods. Neanderthals went extinct because they had no human DNA, they were an Annunaki experiment that died out. They have presented themselves as the original progenitors of the human race, inserting themselves in the place of the original Lyrans, in order to continue their breeding programs and experiment with the human gene pool.[1]
