Homo neanderthalensis would have worn the skins of their kills. As apex predators, the neanderthals hunted a wide range of prey, many of which had insulated pelts perfect for surviving arctic conditions. From these pelts, they would make their clothes. Their cloths were not as advanced as those made by Homo sapiens sapiens at the same time however, as the neanderthals lacked the ability to make needles, and did not sew their cloths. Instead they would drape the furs over their bodies, like very warm fur ponchos. In areas of movement like the arms, legs, and feet, they used leather straps to tighten the furs.
However, new findings in Europe are changing our perception of neanderthal clothing, but until these findings are varied the above concept of neanderthal clothing is the most widely accepted.
The binomial name for Neanderthal is Homo neanderthalensis. Some researchers consider Neanderthal more specifically as Homo sapiens neanderthalensis.
Neanderthals belong to species neanderthalensis.
Neanderthals are sometimes referred to as Homo sapiens neanderthalensis because they are considered a separate species within the Homo genus. The species name "neanderthalensis" indicates their distinctiveness from anatomically modern Homo sapiens.
Homo sapiens probably evolved from Homo erectus, while Homo neanderthalensis and Homo floresiensis evolved separately from different branches of the Homo lineage. Homo neanderthalensis and Homo floresiensis did not directly evolve into Homo sapiens.
Homo neanderthalensis
- 230,000 to 30,000 b.c.e
in Africa, Europe, and parts of western Asia
From 230,000 to 30,000 years ago.
Yes, early Homo sapiens neanderthalensis did use stone tools. They were skilled toolmakers, creating a variety of tools such as hand axes, scrapers, and knives. The use of tools played a crucial role in their survival and adaptation to different environments.
13300 to 32000 years ago.... hope that helps! :)

Homo means "man", sapiens means "wise", and neanderthalensis refers to Neanderthal, German for "Neander (the name of a river) valley", which is where the first such fossils were found.So all in all it comes out to "wise man of the Neander valley."
