  1. neandertal

    Neandertal, also known as Neanderthal, refers to an extinct species, or a subspecies, of archaic humans that lived in Eurasia until about 40,000 years ago. They are closely related to modern humans, sharing 99.7% of DNA. Neandertals are known for their distinctive physical characteristics - a robust build and low forehead - and are the closest extinct human relative. They were hunter-gatherers and used tools, and there is evidence that they had language, made art, and had a complex culture.
