He isn't Neanderthal, as he's described as being like Cro-Magnon man in appearance. Despite his fluent, detailed thoughts and American accent via the narrator. The sex obsessed caveman Ehd, although intelligent and as emotionally sensitive as a woman (you can tell it's a fantasy written by a woman from his clitoral diligence alone) is soooo gentle and caring, looking after Beh with doglike devotion, but appears to have literally no functional language whatsoever. The story benefits from little research about the culture of early man. Here she meets a lone caveman with improbably scanty body hair, blond hair and green eyes. Obviously time machines don't need to be programmed with exact coordinates or anything then.
