Is this Neanderthal script? If so, the Latin alphabet seems quite clearly to be its descendant!

Is this Neanderthal script?

No. It's Cro-Magnon phonemic script, which Postule, and other scholars of the time, always used for Neanderthal. Sorry, I should have put in between slashes to make this clear. The Cro-Magnons did not, of course use slashes (//); they used snardoovs (₪₪). Slashes were not invented until long after the Cro-Magnons had ceased publishing.

Perhaps, but we still haven't got any proof that it was actually used in Latin. I've been looking through the links on the Google search page, and I've found nothing interesting.

Hello, Birdeen's call:

I am NOT a good reader, so I have probably MISinterpreted your post.

Google (including its "books" section) has many references to something that is attributed to Titus Livius (Livy):

Potiusque sero quam nunquam

Thanks, I didn't know about it! All I did was try to translate the quotation to Latin and google it. But I tried "tarde" instead of "sero" and "melius" instead of "potius".
