Modern anthropogenesis considers Homo habilis (The Able Man) to be the first man in evolutionary history, and also believes that archenterons (Homo erectus, The Upright Man) were nondisputably human. Neanderthals are thought to be true humans and our immediate ancestors, and have recently been included into Homo sapiens sapiens, not into the extinct subspecies Homo neanderthalensis. In the territories of Europe, beginning some 30,000 to 25,000 years ago and up to our days, the Neanderthal populations were replaced by the Homo sapiens sapiens populations - the modern, intelligent man. In the anthropological literature of Southern Slavic lands, and in textbooks too, Neanderthals are placed among the died-out, blind-alley branches of anthropogenesis. However, the end of the second millennium brought many innovations in the perception of Homo sapiens order, its origin and migrations.
