The Neanderthal man was first discovered in Neanderthal (Neander Valley) near Düsseldorf, Germany, in 1856. This is where Joachim Neander, a seventeenth-century school principal and hymn writer liked to hang out, hold gatherings, and conduct religious services. The valley was eventually named for him. Shortly before his death from tuberculosis in 1680, he wrote the words to this famous hymn:
Lobe den Herren, den mächtigen König (Praise to the Lord, the Almighty)

From Wiki:
Joachim Neander was born in Bremen, the son of a Latin teacher. His grandfather, a musician, had changed the family name from the original Neumann (’New man’ in English) to the Greek form Neander following the fashion of the time.
So, these Neanderthals are really New Men?..................
