Definition
- Neandertals were a morphologically distinct human population that existed in Europe and Western Asia from about 200,000 to 30,000 BP (before present). The first recognized Neandertal discovery occurred in 1856, when the remains of part of the skeleton of one individual was discovered in the Feldhofer grotto, in Neander Valley, near Düsseldorf, Germany.
