Neanderthals

This is a Neanderthal. They lived only 200,000-30,000 years ago. They were much like we are today. They were thought to have religious beliefs because they buried their dead and had funeral like celebrations. They cared for their family and friends and were language capable. They also made more advanced tools.
The Neanderthal is often seen as a hunched over cave man. But this is not how they really were. they walked upright just like us. Thats just the stereotypical visual of a Neanderthal.
