Abstract

First discovered in lime quarries in the Neander Valley near Dusselorf, Germany, in 1856, Neanderthal Man ( Homo neanderthalensis ) was the first modern hominid species to be named. Since the discovery of the original fossil (subsequently named as Neander 1), numerous Neanderthal fossils, varying from sets of teeth to virtually complete skeletons, have been discovered at numerous European and Central Asian sites, including La Chapelle-aux-Saints and Moustier (France) and Shanidar (Kurdistan).
