The caveman is a stock character representative of primitive humans in the Paleolithic. The popularization of the type dates to the early 20th century, when Neanderthals were influentially described as " simian " or " ape -like" by Marcellin Boule [ 1 ] and Arthur Keith .
By 1685 many families were still living in caves in Pennsylvania, for the Governor's Council then ordered the caves to be destroyed and filled in. [15] In 2003, a Missouri family renovated and moved into a 15,000 square feet (1,400 m 2 ) sandstone cave.

Neanderthals consumed a wide array of food, mainly hoofed mammals, [51] but also megafauna, [30] [52] plants, [53] [54] [55] small mammals, birds, and aquatic and marine resources. [56] Although they were probably apex predators, they still competed with cave lions, cave hyenas and other large predators. [57]
