They certainly had good technology - at one site in France they found string. This might sound like a simple thing, but actual braided twine is surprisingly difficult to make and requires at least basic math.
The more we learn about our Neanderthal cousins (and in some cases ancestors), the more we realize they were just people. A little different in build and skull shape, but still people.
Which makes it less and less surprising that there were hybrids. If they were people, as smart as we are, with a similar sense of aesthetics and beauty (they seem to have had a fondness for red), then why not marry one?
