English:

Shows present-day borders.
In the English Channel, Crimea, the Caucasus, Southwest Asia, Uzbekistan, and the Altai Mountains, tiny single-pixel black points indicate sites where Neanderthal bones have been found. In Europe, only one or two single-pixel points per country is depicted. In the English Channel:
In Crimea:
In the Russian Caucasus: In Georgia:
In Armenia:
In Turkey:
In Lebanon:
In Israel and the West Bank:

Europe has so many Neanderthals, that I am still in the process of indexing them (see User:Nicolas_Perrault_III/List_of_Neanderthals ). For a country to be in blue here, a Neanderthal bone must be found on the mainland (thus excluding for the Netherlands the Neanderthal found in the water ). In Greece, although the Peloponnesus is connected to the mainland, and indeed is part of it, only that peninsula is coloured. This is to show that there is a gap in the Balkans. To include a country in Europe on this map, only one example is required (these are also represented by black single-pixel dots on the map):
The following countries, as of the cited dates, had no Neanderthal remains. Among other sources, this is according to the Catalogue of Fossil Hominids (1970), and an Update to this Catalogue for ex-USSR countries (1992). It is possible that Neanderthals were discovered more recently in these countries, but I found no article to that effect.
