• HomininiBroader topic: Neanderthals are a well-known extinct member of Hominina.

• Franz WeidenreichRelated: Weidenreich compared Neanderthal anatomy with other fossil and living human groups.

• Hominin phylogenyBroader topic: Its close relationship and interbreeding with Homo sapiens complicate a simple branching tree.

• HumanRelated: Neanderthal ancestry persists in many people outside Africa.

• Eugène DuboisCompared with: Neanderthal fossils offered a distinct evolutionary comparison to Java Man.

• Spoken languageRelated: Evidence about Neanderthal anatomy and behavior informs debates about speech capacities.

• Wild manCompared with: Neanderthals were real human relatives, not legendary wilderness-dwellers.
