Abstract
The original Neanderthal fossil was discovered in Mettmann near Düsseldorf, Germany, in 1856 and the present volume is based on the conference that I had the honor of organizing in July 2006 with Professors Wighart von Koenigswald and Thomas Litt to commemorate the 150th anniversary of this discovery. It is in Bonn, at the Rheinisches Landesmuseum that the holotype of the Neanderthal taxon is kept, and it was at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms Universität in that same city that the conference was held.
