Because they had much much lower population than HSS, so if the same percentage of them were geniuses compared to HSS, it would still take the neaderthal species much much longer to accumulate the same total number of geniuses?

They lived in climates where agriculture would have been impossible, didn't they?
Keep in mind HS lived for 150,000 years where agriculture was possible, and didn't develop agriculture. HSS lived for 60,000 years where agriculture was possible, and didn't seem to develop agriculture.
