This is my depiction of a Neanderthal man from Pleistocene Europe, anywhere between 430,000 and 40,000 years ago. Genetic evidence from Neanderthal remains suggests that some of the Neanderthals in Europe would have had red hair and pale skin, but others would have possessed darker pigmentation for both hair and skin. However, I suspect that, on average, they would have been lighter-skinned than the modern humans who later came into Europe from Africa and ultimately replaced (or absorbed) them.
