Profile view of Homo sapiens skull facing a Neanderthal (Homo neanderthalensis) skull discovered in 1909 by Denis Peyroni and Louis Capitan on the Ferrassie site in France. Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) first appeared in Europe around 600,000 years ago, and co-existed with modern humans, who emerged around 200,000 years ago. Neanderthals went extinct, or interbred with modern humans, by around 25,000 years ago., by PHILIPPE PSAILA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
