Classic Neanderthals are probably a stock of hominids, by common consent a by-product of the evolutionary process, one that can be excluded from the ancestry of modern man, dating from the fourth glacial advance. Their dead were buried along with their tools. The presence of speech may be inferred. Mousterian culture predominated.
