Description

Homo neandertalensis or Homo sapiens neandertalensis depending on who you talk to.

My aim in this depiction was to be as different from neanderthal stereotypes as possible. The body paint is mostly inspired by that worn by Australian aboriginals. The feather and grass garments are in reference to how comparatively little evidence there is for fur use in neanderthals.
