A Neanderthal steps through from another history; due to various events he strikes and kills someone here.

Can he be arrested for murder? Does a Neanderthal automatically count as a human in the eyes of the law? If so, how far from homo sapiens sapiens does a hominid have to be before they don't count as a person by default?

In one of those meaningless coincidences, the maximum range of Neanderthals:

is roughly similar to the maximum range of the Celts:

Coincidence?

I have a vague recollection of the Celts' original home being in central Asia.

I was also under the impression that the Latins were a franchise of the Celts.

(All this is many years old and may be mashed together from multiple concepts until it bears little resemblance to the original sources. Or it may be dead on. Usually I can tell which is likelier. This is not one of those times.)

If it's extra work to give the sources of the maps, never mind. We've all got finite time.
