Abstract

The place of Neandertals in modern human emergence has been a subject of debate
since the first recognized Neandertal skeleton was discovered in 1856. This paper presents
an overview of morphological, archaeological, and genetic evidence commonly used
in discussions of Neandertals and their evolutionary significance. A brief historical sketch
of the argument provides insight into the changing views on these interesting people.
The major models proposed to explain modern human origins are also discussed.

Keywords
