Es ist schwer zu sagen, wann die Geschichte der Neandertaler beginnt. Die meisten Palaoanthropologen glauben, das die Neandertaler aus einer mittelpleistozanen Population des Homo heidelbergensis entstanden sind. Genaueres ist aber nicht bekannt. Homo heidelbergensis ist gerade aufgrund seiner Primitivitat, d. h. wegen des Fehlens von anatomischen Spezialisierungen, die sich bei spateren Hominiden finden, besonders gut als Vorfahr fur spatere Menschenformen geeignet.
