What is Neanderthal Man? The term refers to a hominid who [1] walked on the Earth in the Middle Paleolithic Age (during the Old Stone Age).

A hominid can be an ancestor of "true" man (modern man) or a relative, such as a modern primate.

In this context, the term man is used to refer to both males and [3] females of the genus Homo.

Neanderthal Man was [4] discovered near Düsseldorf, Germany in 1856, when workers came across the skull and skeletal remains of what appeared to be a human.

This latter view was [7] supported by the famous English naturalist Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895) in his book Man's Place in Nature (1863).
