If the Neanderthals or some similar species had survived until the present day, presumably there would be a similar case. Probably Neanderthals had brainware quite different from ours (although quite possibly not as different as the difference between women and men, since this difference goes back a lot longer.)
I strongly disagree. And not just because we’ve since learned that Eurasians have some Neanderthal ancestry. I think there was probably significant overlap in curves mapping the distribution of various mental traits.
People would notice Neanderthals are different but they would mostly be treated just as a somewhat odd ethnicity.

… such as pygmies.
Yeah basically.
