What are the oldest Neanderthal remains found?
Answers:
"The oldest Neanderthal fossils in hand date only to 200,000 B.P., and the oldest Homo sapiens to about 100,000.
The estimate of 300,000 years is from when there was a supposed common ancestor if memory serves."
Nope, there are firmly dated Neandertal remains to 350,000 years ago.
Skeletons
not all early man is neaderthal if you mean oldest human remains they date back about 3.2million years known as lucy it was our earliest ancestetors. Neaderthal was much later 350,00 years ago.
1987: New thermoluminescence resulted from Palestine fossils date Neanderthals at Kebara to 60,000 BP
I believe the date range for neandertals is from about 300,000 to 30,000 bc.
i dont know of any examples offhand of the oldest ones, but since that is the date range, i assume there are examples. somewhere. somewhere over the rainbow. lol

The estimate of 300,000 years is from when there was a supposed common ancestor if memory serves. The problem is that Erectus may have turned slowly to H. Heidelbergensis which theoretically turned slowly to Neanderthal. The actual earliest examples would therefore be subjective even if they had the earlier fossils. It would be an arbitrary date.
Neanderthals disappeared from the fossil record and were replaced in Europe by anatomically modern forms, according to anthropologists. Neanderthals are known to have inhabited Europe and western Asia from about 200,000 years to 30,000 years ago. The original explanation of Neanderthal anatomy was one of a primitive early human based on a flawed reconstruction of the nearly entire skeleton of an elderly Neanderthal male found at La Chapelle-aux-Saints, France, named "The Old Man", according to scientists.
