Remains of an early Neanderthal with a super strong arm suggest that Neanderthal fellows were heavily pumped up on male hormones, possessing a hormonal status unlike anything that exists in humans today... Neanderthal males probably evolved their ultra macho ways due to lifestyle, genes, climate and diet factors... Project leader Maria Mednikova told Discovery News that Neanderthal males hunted in the "extreme," helping to beef up one arm. "The common method for killing animals was direct contact with the victim," said Mednikova, a professor in the Institute of Archaeology at the Russian Academy of Sciences. Instead of shooting prey, such as mammoths, with a bow and arrow from a distance, Neanderthal males would engage in face-to-face contact, jabbing long, thick spears directly into the animal's flesh. Neanderthal females weren't delicate creatures either... Neanderthal males had Popeye-type right arms, while Neanderthal females had arms that were more evenly matched and not nearly as muscular. Mednikova and her team analyzed a fossil humerus (long bone that extends from the shoulder to the elbow) for what they believe was an Neanderthal male that might have lived around 100,000 years ago in what is now Khvalynsk, Russia... Mednikova and her colleagues explained that edible plants in colder regions were few and far between, and the vegetation period was short.

Maybe they were so ugly they had to do the self love thing more than modern man
Heh... we think alike...
hugh ross says that neanderthals are not related to humans.
but the gov of california looks like a neanderthal.
Was Neanderthal man unique? Was he FULLY human?What caused Neanderthal's unique facial and skeletal characteristics? Evolutionists will tell you that since Neanderthal is an ancestor of modern humans the morphological differences are due to the evolutionary changes that are constantly remolding our features. Is evolution the only mechanism by which these changes could have been produced? Many scientists disagree with the theory of evolution. If there is a simpler answer does it not make sense to examine the evidence? What I would like to do is summarize and present evidence from my own research, and the research of others, that shows that non-evolutionary factors and forces could have produced Neanderthal's unique anatomical differences.

Neanderthal was not a combination half-man half-ape. He was fully human and was a full-fledged member of the human family (18). Although he carried this distinction there were some slight anatomical differences. I believe that these differences could be explained in the context of the events that occurred in the opening chapters of the book of Genesis. This included the events before and after Noah's flood.

You’re related to Popeye.
And, if this picture is any guide, Neanderthals died out due to rampant homsexuality among the popeye-armed males...
I'm short, stout, compact, have a huge ribcage - and a larger than average head. I feel sorry for all you humans that have devolved. ;)
