Neandertal Share Planet with Modern Human

Neandertals physical formation differed from modern humans in terms of muscles, skeletal structure, and height. They were stronger, had muscular bodies, and a height of 1.50 m to 1,75 m (Hendry). They weighed approximately between 64-82 kg on average. Even if their height extended to even taller meters in later life, their weight remained almost the same. They had wide hips and shoulders. Also, they had long and low skulls, which are not common these days in humans who have more round and globular skulls (Hendry).

The facial features noted from the discovered skull of Neandertal humans showed bigger and wider noses, and the face being bulged a bit outwards (Hendry). Nowadays, human faces have been inside from the lower lip, with noses slimmer than before. Researchers have a proposition that such face features for Neandertal could be due to dry and cold weather during those times. The large nose size could have helped to moisten the inner structure of the nasal cavities for convenient breathing in cold weather conditions (Wroe et al., 2018).

Neandertal has no prominent...…spoken language as their voice box characteristics reveal anything explicitly. However, it is proposed that they might have a language to interact with themselves and the modern humans when they traveled to new continents, along with a hypothesis that their language might have been simpler than modern humans (Hendry).

The reason why Neanderthals went extinct is also still unknown; however, some rough estimations suggest that the advent of modern humans in Europe that happened more than 40,000 years ago could have put them in strict competition for food and natural resources, making it difficult for them to survive after having lived for…
