Neanderthal Science - These Ancient Humans Were Freaks of Nature

Neanderthal Science - These Ancient Humans Were Freaks of Nature. For the majority of scientific history, we have told the story of Neanderthals in a way that makes us appear superior: we were smarter, less savage, and better physically equipped to inherit the earth than the Neanderthal. This story makes us feel optimistic about the future, Because if Neanderthals were our equals and still died out, what's stopping nature from being just as cruel to modern humans? Nevertheless, Anatomical evidence suggests that Neanderthals were significantly stronger than modern humans. Neanderthal anatomy differed from modern human anatomy in that they had a more robust build and distinct morphological features, particularly on the cranium, which gradually evolved into more derived aspects, particularly in isolated geographic regions. This robust build was an effective adaptation for Neanderthals, who lived in cold environments throughout Europe.
