Talk:Neanderthals in popular culture

Organization

Given the unordered form of this list, I think it's time that we decided how to organize it. I'd normally be all for sorting it by last name, but sorting it by the date of publication might reveal how the portrayal of Neanderthals has changed as we learn more about them.

Well, it's more work, but I suspect chronologically is preferable order - Alphabetically doesn't add anything, whereas chronology does a bit. WilyD 01:56, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Think we can list the dates without it looking overkill? We could do something like Title by Author (date). Ladlergo 13:00, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Actually, a coversion of the list of every random appearance to a prose section based on third party commentary and analysis would be the ideal. Active Banana (^bananaphone 22:20, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Old Man Mulligan?

I don't quite remember; was "Old Man Mulligan" by P. Schuyler Miller a Neanderthal or not? Kaligelos (talk) 22:18, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Neanderthals in popular culture. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Article scope

Hi! I had recently added some text on the origin of N's image. By doing so, I tried to move a bit closer towards the desired topic. I think it is not very helpful to compile long lists of movies and TV shows, as it is not their intent to reflect the public perception of N's. In most cases, they serve dramatic or sensual purposes - open to interpretation, that is hard to pin down, hence of little relevance. Any thoughts, comments?

Merger with Caveman page

Both this article and Caveman cover much of the same material if any future Wikipedians are interested. DHHornfeldt (talk) 17:42, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

I agree with the need for merging, but first this article needs to be renamed to something similar to "Prehistoric humans in popular culture" to clarify that there is generally no relationship between these representations and scientific facts about Neanderthals or any other species of Hominidae. "Caveman" is even worse, and should disappear into the renamed article leaving only a redirect.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 00:05, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
