Neanderthal
The Neanderthals or Neandertals are an extinct species or subspecies of the genus Homo which is closely related to modern humans. They are known from fossils, dating from the Pleistocene period, which have been found in Europe and parts of western and central Asia. The species is named after Neandertal, the location in Germany where it was first discovered. Neanderthals are classified either as a subspecies of Homo sapiens or as a separate species of the same genus. The first humans with proto-Neanderthal traits are believed to have existed in Europe as early as 600,000–350,000 years ago. When the Neanderthals went extinct is disputed. Fossils found in the Vindija Cave in Croatia have been dated to between 33,000 and 32,000 years old, and Neanderthal artefacts from Gorham's Cave in Gibraltar are believed to be less than 30,000 years ago, but a recent study has re-dated fossils at two Spanish sites as 45,000 years old, 10,000 years older than previously thought, and may cast doubt on recent dates at other sites. Cro-Magnon skeletal remains showing certain "Neanderthal traits" have been found in Lagar Velho and dated to 24,500 years ago, suggesting that there may have been an extensive admixture of the Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal populations in that region.
Origin: From the name of the German valley where Neanderthal 1 was discovered in 1856. The (from w:Düssel, a small tributary of the River Rhine + tal) itself was renamed (from and/or ) in the early 19 century to , and again in 1850 to w:Neanderthal, Germany; both names were in honour of the German Calvinist theologian and hymn writer Joachim Neander (1650–1680). The surname Neander is a Romanisation of the Greek translation of the original surname Neumann, for which reason Homo neanderthalensis is sometimes called New man in English.
