Maybe "Troglodyte" would be OK with the paleos. Even tho based on a possibly real group, it has long been fictionalized:

-------------------------------

Homo troglodytes, an invalid taxon coined by Carl Linnaeus to refer to a legendary creature
Troglodyte (Dungeons & Dragons), a race of humanoid monsters in the game Dungeons & Dragons
Troglodyte, a 2009 film also known as Sea Beast
"Troglodyte (Cave Man)", a funk song by the Jimmy Castor Bunch on their 1972 album It's Just Begun

-------------------------------

Re Neandertals or any such--you make a good point. After seeing what modern humans can be like, we should NOT feel at all superior to the caveman.

We're more like the hapless Trilobites (extinct anthropods) --if we don't try to stop global warming by any means possible.

It's hard to convince people that it's now an emergency that scientists have seen coming for a long time. Too big for a lot of people to understand, too scary. But it can no longer be ignored.
