In modern times, animated fiction shows like 'Flintstones' introduced us to the world of cavemen.
When intelligent life started evolving on the Earth over a million years ago, cavemen started exploring this new world. These primitive cavemen can be credited with creating fire and helping with the progress of humanity.
Although humans no longer live in caves, modern humans are still related to primitive cavemen. This is the reason that people are eager to search for names related to cavemen.
Here are some of the most interesting names for cavemen with different form and versions to help you pick the most popular options.

To track the path we have traced over the years towards our evolution, let's start this list by mentioning the earliest era, the Lower Palaeolithic or commonly considered the old stone age. Let's start with the time when humans were more like apes than humans.
Then, let’s head to the end and finish with Neanderthals. Humans could not speak fluently as we do nowadays, which is obvious. Thus, assigning names to people who could barely talk was not a good idea at that time.
