These heavily built and muscled people had a brain volume of 1200 to 1800
cubic centimetres, equal to and even larger than modern human brains.
Neanderthals were much more muscular than are modern humans - bulking about
30 percent more in weight.
wow, good chance they could wrestle an aslan or an uzeang vargr and win!
%30 more massive means an average weight in the neighborhood of 110 kilos,
and as their lifestyle was up close and personal with REALLY big game, I'd
say it was all muscle. and considering the skeletal differences, that muscle
had more leverage. so even a modern homo sapiens weightlifter weighing in at
300 lbs would be overmatched. POOR AHNOLD 8-)
