troglodytes
Primitive cave inhabitants
Troglodytes are cave dwellers—people who live in caves or underground.
The term extends to anyone perceived as primitive, reclusive, or out of touch with modern life: Those troglodytes in IT still use floppy disks.
In zoology, Troglodytes is the genus of wrens, named for their habit of nesting in dark crevices.
