From a blog quoting Michael Bradley in his excellent book
Chosen People from the Caucasus:
Quote:
“Our present concern rests with the outlook of these Khazars who adopted Judaism some 1300 years ago and with their descendant the “Jews” or Ashkenazim of today...
They originated in the Caucasus and the steppes to the immediate north- or, at the least, Judaism found them there. And, as such people, they can be presumed to have reflected strongly Neanderthal characteristics.
They originated in the area of strongly lingering Neanderthal physical traits. Late Neanderthal sites, discovered by modern archeologists, abound in the old Khazar heartland. It may be no accident, and not only political convenience, that Khazars adopted primitive Judaism. Perhaps Old Testament law, and Jehovah’s personality, suited their own better than evolved Islam or Christianity.
However the Khazars are thought to have been one of the component parts of the Huns- of ‘Attila the Hun fame’ - who either remained in the steppes and did not join Attila’s celebrated invasion of Europe or who returned to their homeland once the brief invasion was over”

The fellows whole article (link below) is worth reading but Bradley's book expands on the Neanderthal-Khazar connection. It's real, no doubt. But it's also why Bradley can't find a publisher these days.
