wat in the world does that mean
"Neanderthal people"???????????????
tell me lyk now

Answer 1

Neandertal was a species of the Homo genus that inhabited Europe and parts of western Asia. The first proto-Neanderthal traits appeared in Europe as early as 350,000 years ago. By 130,000 years ago, full blown Neanderthal characteristics had appeared. Neanderthals became extinct in Europe approximately 24,000 years ago.

It is also used as a derogitory term aimed at "thick" people... i.e. 'you Neanderthal'

Answer 2

Neanderthal Man
Crystal Reference Encyclopedia

[neeandertahl] Homo sapiens neanderthalensis. A distinctive form of archaic Homo sapiens, with a long, flat, braincase (capacity 1200–1800 cm), a retreating frontal, heavy brow ridge, and a projecting face with a large nose. Contrary to early reconstructions, Neanderthals were fully upright, but had stocky, muscular body build (height 1·55–1·8 m/5 ft 1 in–5 ft 10 in; average 1·66 m/5 ft 4 in). Fossil evidence indicates Neanderthal characters evolved slowly from about 0·5 million years ago, but the full set of features only occur after c.0·1 million years ago in Europe, S Russia, and the Middle East (SW Asia). There is a particular concentration of finds in W Europe, where Neanderthals disappear c.33 000 years ago with the arrival of anatomically modern humans (H. sapiens sapiens); in SW Asia the two subspecies coexisted for c.60,000 years (100 000–40 000 years ago).

Answer 3

They are called Neanderthal because their remains were first identified in the valley of the Neander River near Düsseldorf in Germany.

Answer 4

neanderthals were a species of human being. we did not evolve from neanderthals, or some people are a mix of cro-magnon man and neandethal. neadnerthals ate over 7000 calories a day and had extended forheads and large noses. they were less evolved then our human ancestor which was homo sapien or cro-magnon man. the neaderthanls eventually become extinct becuase they needed to much food and they could not talk, only grunt., (like cavemen). neandethals were like caveman...humans were not "cavemen." scienstists are not sure if we evolved from neanderthals in anyway, or if they were a seperate species from us. anyway basically they were a species of human that didnt not work out and it is therorized that cro-magnon man made neanderthals its slaves becuase they were not as smart (cro-magnon man is a less evolved homo-sapien which we are now)

Answer 5

From a religiou point of veiw, neanderthals are the wicked, uncivilized people who lived in the world before Noah and the flood. By the way, I mean the unrighteous people. Obviously there were people who weren't totally wicked back then.

Answer 6

The Neanderthal (IPA pronunciation: [niː.ændə(ɚ)θɒl, neɪ.ændə(ɚ)θɒl, niː.ændə(ɚ)tɒl, neɪ.ændə(ɚ)tɒl,]), (Homo neanderthalensis) or Neandertal was a species of the Homo genus that inhabited Europe and parts of western Asia. The first proto-Neanderthal traits appeared in Europe as early as 350,000 years ago.[1] By 130,000 years ago, full blown Neanderthal characteristics had appeared. Neanderthals became extinct in Europe approximately 24,000 years ago.[2][3][4]

In Siberia, Middle Paleolithic populations are evidenced only in the southern portions. Teeth from Okladniko and Denisova caves have been attributed to Neanderthals (Goebel 1999:213, citing Turner). Middle Paleolithic industries in Siberia (dated to 70,000 to 40,000 years ago) are distinctly Levallois and Mousterian, reduction technologies are uniform, secondary reduction is largely unifacial with few bifacial retouched pieces, assemblages consist of scrapers, denticulates, notches, knives, and retouched Levallois flakes and points, and there is no evidence of bone, antler or ivory technology, or of art or personal adornment.[5] Subprismatic blade and flake primary reduction technology characterizes the lithic industry, and microblade cores are absent. The Mousterian flake and simple biface industry that characterizes the Middle Paleolithic, wherever found with human remains, is found with Neanderthals, and wherever Aurignacian is found with remains, it is found with modern humans.[6]

The transition to the Upper Paleolithic coincides with the appearance of modern Homo sapiens in Siberia. Early Upper Paleolithic sites in southern Siberia, found below 55 degrees latitude and dated from 42,000 to 30,000 B.P, correspond to the Malokheta interstade, a relatively warm interval in the mid-Upper Pleistocene.[5]

Neanderthals had many adaptations to a cold climate, such as large braincase, short but robust builds, and large noses — traits selected by nature in cold climates. Their brain sizes have been estimated to be larger than modern humans, although such estimates have not been adjusted for their more robust builds. On average, Neanderthal males stood about 1.65 m tall (just under 5' 5") and were heavily built, and muscular due to their physical activity and robust bone structure. Females were about 1.53 to 1.57 m tall (about 5'–5'2").

The characteristic style of stone tools in the Middle Paleolithic is called the Mousterian Culture, after a prominent archaeological site where the tools were first found. The Mousterian culture is typified by the wide use of the Levallois technique. Mousterian tools were often produced using soft hammer percussion, with hammers made of materials like bones, antlers, and wood, rather than hard hammer percussion, using stone hammers. Near the end of the time of the Neanderthals, they created the Châtelperronian tool style, considered more "advanced" than that of the Mousterian. They either invented the Châtelperronian themselves or "borrowed" elements from the incoming modern humans who are thought to have created the Aurignacian.

Answer 7

Neanderthal: a subspecies of Homo Sapiens(human beings) 100,000 to 40,000 years ago(middle paleolithic period) ..first found in Neanderthal, Germany..compared to modern human beings, they were shorter and more robust..prominent brow ridges, low, sloping foreheads, chinless & heavy, forward-jetting jaw..extremely large teeth...shoulders and pelvis were wider...ist hominid to spend extensive perios of time in extremely cold climates

Answer 8

Good God, are that ignorant or lazy to do an internet search yourself? Homo Neanderthalus... lived during the last ice age... Remanants of their society were found in caves in the Neander Valley in France. Look the rest up yourself.

Answer 9

cave people
