	'''Neanderthals''' (also spelled '''Neandertals''', scientific name either ''Homo neanderthalensis'' or ''Homo sapiens neanderthalensis'', as there is some debate as to whether it was either a distinct species or a subspecies) are one of the last known branches of the homo sapiens family tree to go extinct as modern humanity evolved. They were the dominant hominid within the areas that would later become Europe and the upper Mediterannean until the Upper Paleoithic, some 40,000 years ago, when Cro-Magnon Man, direct ancestor of Homo Sapiens Sapiens (that's you and me) came into contact with them. By the Mesolithic ice age, the Neanderthals were all gone. Why and how is something science is still trying to puzzle out.

	Recent advances in genetic analysis have revealed that the genome of modern humans is 99.7% identical to the Neanderthal genome.

	Regardless, Neanderthals are generally regarded as ''the'' "caveman" species by fantasy writers, particularly pulp authors from the 40s and 50s, for looking more "primitive" than Cro-Magnon, but not full-on [[Frazetta Man]] like the older, smaller, and hairier hominids we've learned about over the decades. (This depiction may or may not be justified; some archaeologists believe that Neanderthals may have produced art and adornments such as beads and buried their dead, but their claims have been strongly disputed.)
