Neanderthal was the first specimen to be recognized as an early human fossil. They had a brain size of 1400 cc and lived in near east and central Asia between 100000 - 40000 years back. Neanderthals made and used a diverse set of cultured tools, controlled fire and lived in shelters, made and wore clothing, were skilled hunters of large animals and also ate plant foods, and occasionally made symbolic or ornamental objects. There is evidence that Neanderthals deliberately buried their dead and occasionally even marked their graves with offerings, such as flowers.
