NEANDERTHAL (-täl), a wildly romantic valley between Düsseldorf and Elberfeld in Rhenish Prussia. In a limestone cave in this valley was found in 1857 the skeleton of a prehistoric man, and the peculiar formation of the skull induced anthropologists to regard it as typical of a separate race of ancient cave dwellers.
