Preferred term

neandertal evidence  

Definition

  • Neandertals made their appearance midway through the 19th century, at a critical moment in intellectual history, when old but comfortable ideas about the human past were beginning to fall apart and new but shocking ideas (such as evolution) were coming in. The old ideas did not explain Neandertals. [Source: Encyclopedia of Anthropology; Neandertal Evidence]
