His name was Ugghh. He had been discovered by chance by an archaeologist from the University of Tübingen, in a sausage stall in downtown Düsseldorf.
After conducting the proper investigations, and making sure Ugghh was a real Neanderthal and not a peasant from the Black Forest who had moved to the city, Dr. Zweilfen got him a job at the Neanderthal Museum, near Düsseldorf, halfway between Erkrath and Mettman.
The job shift came at the best moment. Serving sausages was not difficult for him, just that the smell of the chucrut was already unbearable.
His arrival to the museum was quite an event. The only museum in the world with a living piece! So, Ugghh was allowed to do whatever he wanted. Which was not a problem, at least at first, since his only task was to play in the large garden that the museum management had set up for him. However, as soon as Ugghh became aware of his rock star status for the museum, his whims became more demanding. He began to drink huge amounts of beer, and gobbled up every carbohydrate he found at hand.
Seven months after his arrival at the museum, Ugghh was admitted to the Düsseldorf University Hospital with severe gastrointestinal complications. It seems it was due to diet and lack of exercise. Few years ago from that. Now he is a hipster, and works in a boutique on the boulevard Königsallee.
