This story was written in 1939 and is set in 1956. It’s about an

He most definitely looks the part,

So with modern clothing and grooming he'll blend right in.
I'm sorry, were you under the impression--as a writer in 1939 might
have been--that a Neanderthal would noticeably stand out?

Well, after watching /Gone, Baby, Gone/ [1] I came to the conclusion
that I was basically watching a bunch of Orcs in an Orcish society
masquerading as a society of Men.

[1] Not to be confused with /Gone Girl/, which is, if nothing else,
one heck of a character study.
