4000 years ago, the last Neanderthal roamed the earth, an isolated figure in a rapidly changing world. The cause of their extinction was still a mystery, but many believed that the arrival of Homo sapiens played a crucial role. Some even whispered that it was the hand of the gods, wielding lightning as a weapon against the Neanderthals.

The last Neanderthal was weak, and as the days went by, their body grew weaker still. They wandered the dark forests, searching for food and shelter, but the world seemed to have turned against them. Everywhere they turned, the Neanderthal found only danger, and soon they were forced to face the fact that they were the last one remaining.

No one knows the whereabouts of the last Neanderthal, but there are whispers of a figure moving through the darkness, a ghost of a bygone era. Some say that they saw the Neanderthal on the edge of town, and others swear that they heard their footsteps in the night. But no one ever sees the Neanderthal in the light of day.

As the years passed, the memory of the Neanderthal faded, and they became nothing more than a myth, a story told to scare children on cold, dark nights. But there are those who believe that the Neanderthal still walks the earth, a last vestige of a bygone era, a reminder of the mysteries that still linger in the shadows.

And so the story of the last Neanderthal lives on, a mystery that will never truly be solved. But even as the years pass and the world changes, the memory of the Neanderthal remains, a haunting presence that will always linger in the dark forests of the imagination.
