A caveman is a stock character based upon widespread anachronistic concepts of the way in which neanderthals, early modern humans, or archaic hominids may have looked and behaved. The term originates out of assumptions about the association between early humans and caves, most clearly demonstrated in cave painting. The term is not used in academic research.
