Do those leather jacked, boot wearing, tree dwelling, neanderthal goons lack personal hygiene?

Neanderthal may refer to:

    * Homo neanderthalensis — a prehistoric hominid
    * Neanderthal Man — 1970 hit of the band Hotlegs
    * Neanderthal, Germany — a valley in Germany where the fossils of the former were first found
    * Neanderthal — a book written by author John Darnton
    * Neanderthal woodworker — in Internet woodworking communities, someone who uses hand tools exclusively

Neanderthal is also used as an insult meaning uncivilized.

Ted Kennedy November of 2003 referring to Janice Rogers Brown and Miguel Estrada:

"What has not ended is the resolution and the determination of the members of the United States Senate to continue to resist any Neanderthal that is nominated by this president of the United States for any court, federal court in the United States."
