The term "caveman" generally refers to early human ancestors, particularly those of the Paleolithic era. The first anatomically modern humans, Homo sapiens, emerged around 300,000 years ago in Africa. However, earlier hominins, like Neanderthals and Homo erectus, existed long before that, with Neanderthals appearing around 400,000 years ago. These early humans often lived in caves or similar shelters, which has contributed to the "caveman" stereotype.
