==Description==
 
Roughly similar to the [[w:Pithecanthropus|Pithecanthropus]] or "Upright Ape-Man" of old [[Terra]], '''''Neopithecanthropus''''' is a loose grouping of many different species found across human occupied space that have Stone Age technology or lower.
 
 
 
==History==
 
The species has been found evolving separately but concurrently on [[Campoleone]], [[Stein's Folly]], [[Despair]], and other worlds scattered throughout the Inner Sphere and Periphery.<ref name=AToWC/><ref name=SAD/><ref name="MC">''MechWarrior Companion'', p. 82: "Neopithecanthropus"</ref><ref name=DOD/> There is a related but [[Old Kentucky Sasquatch|distinct species]] found on [[Old Kentucky]].<ref>''Touring the Stars: Old Kentucky'', p. 11: "Old Kentuckian Sasquatches"</ref> Famously encountered on Stein's Folly by an injured [[Ardan Sortek]]. After ejecting from his [[Victor]] while in battle with [[Capellan Confederation]] forces, he found himself encountering a tribe of these creatures which he simply referred to as the "Pinks" due to their unusual eyes. Battling with a high fever at the time, he was uncertain if his encounter with them even happened at all.  Ardan would vaguely remember these pink eyed creatures, which he described as having a small fat body, pale skin, and possessing small fur hides. The tribe took him to a clearing where he was tied to a tree surrounded by human skeletons.<ref name=SAD/>
 
 
 
Anthropologist [[Rodney Tatum]] described an encounter with them in their diaries in [[3055]].<ref name=MC/>
