尼安德塔人：人類的遠房親戚？ Neanderthals: Humans' Distant Cousins
AUG 25,2022/Enjoy Editors 
The unsolved mystery of what happened to our closest ancient human relatives
Neanderthals are named after the Neander Valley in Germany. This is where the first Neanderthal remains were discovered in 1856. Neanderthals and humans were similar in appearance, except their large, strong bodies were better adapted to cold temperatures. By comparison, Neanderthals weighed more and had more powerful arms and legs. They also had wide faces, thick eyebrows, and larger noses. Neanderthals were later nicknamed "cavemen," as they lived in caves to survive the Ice Age. Although many cartoons describe cavemen as stupid, their brains were actually a bit larger than humans'.
與我們血緣最親近的古人類親族發生的未解之謎
尼安德塔人是以德國的尼安德河谷所命名。此處為第一具尼安德塔人遺體在 1856 年被發現的地點。尼安德塔人和人類的外表相似，除了他們有又大又壯的身軀以便更加適應低溫。相較之下，尼安德塔人的體重較重並有更強壯的四肢。他們還有寬臉、濃眉和較大的鼻子。尼安德塔人後來被暱稱為「穴居人」，因為他們為了在冰河時期生存而居住在洞穴裡。雖然許多卡通會把穴居人描述成愚蠢的樣子，但他們的大腦其實比人類的再大一些。
