"Neanderthal Man" is a speculative essay written by British explorer, naturalist, and author Sir Harry Hamilton Johnston, published in 1908. In this work, Johnston explores the concept of the Neanderthal as an early form of human and discusses the potential characteristics and cultural aspects of Neanderthal society. Drawing upon the scientific knowledge of his time, Johnston's essay reflects the early 20th-century understanding of human evolution and the place of Neanderthals within it.

The essay delves into various aspects of what was then known or hypothesized about Neanderthals, including their physical appearance, intelligence, and possible reasons for their extinction. Johnston also speculates on the interactions between Neanderthals and early modern humans, a topic of considerable interest and debate among anthropologists and prehistorians.

"Neanderthal Man" is a product of its era, blending scientific inquiry with the imaginative reconstructions that were common in early discussions of human prehistory. As such, it provides insight into the evolution of paleoanthropological thought and the ways in which early 20th-century scholars interpreted archaeological and fossil evidence.

Johnston's work is significant not only for its content but also for its contribution to the popularization of science and the dissemination of knowledge about human origins to a broader audience. It reflects the curiosity and fascination with which people of the time viewed our ancient ancestors, and it helped to shape public perceptions of human evolution.

While "Neanderthal Man" is not a scientific treatise by today's standards, it remains a notable historical document in the study of human prehistory and the development of paleoanthropology as a scientific discipline. It is an example of how scientific ideas are communicated and evolve over time, influenced by the knowledge and cultural context of the period in which they are produced.
