Neanderthals (Humanity Divided)

 Neanderthals are a hominid species, and a subspecies of homo sapiens. They first arose in Europe, and later spread from Europe to parts of Africa and the Middle-East. Tribes of Neanderthals worked their way across Siberia, interacting with Human tribes in the south. Eventually, Neanderthals crossed over the Bering straights into North America, followed by Humans. Some competed with the Ndutu in South America as well.

Neanderthals were stronger and larger than humans, with slightly larger and more advanced brains as well. However, they had a smaller range of sounds they could produce, crippling their language. This gave them dificulties in creating a united civilization, which gave them a disadvantage when competing with the Humans.
