A friendly reminder regarding spoilers! As always, the expanded Trek universe is in a period of major upheaval with the continuations of Strange New Worlds and Prodigy, the advent of new eras in gaming with the Star Trek Adventures RPG and Star Trek Online, as well as other eventful releases such as Section 31, the ongoing IDW Star Trek comic and spin-off Star Trek: Defiant. Therefore, please be courteous to other users who may not be aware of current developments by using the {{spoiler}}, {{spoilers}} OR {{majorspoiler}} tags when adding new information from sources less than six months old (even if it is minor info).

For the mirror universe counterpart, see Neanderthal (mirror).

The Neanderthals were a bipedal species on Earth prior to and during the development of Humans. Despite their greater strength and large brain cavity, this species managed to defy evolution by becoming displaced by Humans. Popular belief considered this species to be inherently stupid, however revealing archaeological data shows an intelligence equal to that of early Humans.

In 1974, Roberta Lincoln compared Carlos Quintana to a Neanderthal. (TOS - The Eugenics Wars novel: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, Volume 1)

The natives of Drissana II were roughly equivalent to the Neanderthals. (TOS novel: Allegiance in Exile)
