Atheists do not believe in gods, that's it. Atheism has nothing to do with science and vice versa. Palaeoanthropology is science and is accepted by theists and atheists alike.

That being said, there was a wide variety of hominins after the line that led to humans diverged from the line that led to chimpanzees about six million years ago. Various genera have been found including Sahelanthropus, Ardipithecus and Australopithecus before the genus Homo appeared with Homo habilis a little less than three million years ago. Homo habilis became Homo ergaster which in turn became Homo erectus (which evolved to become Homo floresiensis and others) and Homo heidelbergensis. Homo heidelbergensis evolved into Homo sapiens in Africa and into Homo neanderthalis in Europe about 250,000 years ago. Homo sapiens moved out of Africa about 100,000 years ago reaching Europe 48,000 years ago. By 30,000 years ago H neanderthalis was extinct although there was some interbreeding between H neanderthalis and H sapiens.

"Cave men" refers to any of the hominins that lived in caves but has particular reference to H neanderthalis and H sapiens who left evidence such as hearths and wall paintings in caves in parts of Europe and Asia in particular....Show more
