It’s not the same substance. The article does not mention beta lactams, the functional substance of penicillin. It mentions that the genetic sequences of the bacteria COULD code for antibiotics if grown in the lab. It doesn’t mention that Neanderthals ate with any intent to cure, treat, or prevent any disease. These are leaps of logic.
