Homo neanderthalensis amazonae

What began as a somewhat large voyage from Cape Verde gone astray in a strom, ended up creating a new sub-species, who would end up dominating an entire continent.

Evolution
They arose after a population of Homo Neanderthalensis from Cape Verde landed in the northeast region of Brazil in 100,000 BCE, quickly spreading through the northern coast and becoming genetically different from its parent species by 90,000 BCE. N. Amazonae formed riverside communities on the Amazon River, using it to travel in rudimentary boats, and were able to tame the indigenous animals and local fruits, vegetables and nuts of South America. Several proto-cultures emerged with migration that were capable of taming their regions of origin in a more advanced way

Characteristics
Characterized by their short stature, lack of body hair, and powerful lungs adapted for diving, swimming and running, the N. Amazonae are one of the most adaptable species in the Americas as they were very capable of adapting to different climatic environments, like the tropical climate of the Amazon rainforest, the Sertão of northeast Brazil and colder climates of the Andes and Patagonia. The species is lactose tolerant.

The amazonae have, like many other neanderthal species, been forced to adapt their communication, due to their limited vocal abilities. They have done this by relying on sign language, expressive faces and sometimes by touch. This has made the N. Amazonae languages ​​very unique and extremely diverse, also due to the isolation of communities. However they have in Cape Verde's primordial Neanderthal language as ancestor. Their proto-cultures usually have more unified languages.

Migration
The N. Amazonae are an expansionist people, they are able to expand and adapt well to other types of climate of South America. Due to their great diversity, there are Amazonae with more warlike tendencies and those with more diplomatic tendencies. There is an intense interaction with H. Ni. Americae, with intermixing populations or fighting with them for the dominance of northern Colombia.
