“They would have dominated collegiate wrestling!”

That and I would have hated to have faced them one on one when a running back like that came at me. If they could chase down small animals to eat, I can imagine how much speed they may have had in that compact size. Would have been like trying to tackle an artillery shell.

***Just adding, not pinging, because I think this or something like it has appeared***

My idea in this first article posted in over 15 years was the somewhat unique angle of their style of life in the twilight of their existence. Neanderthals seem to be enjoying a revival of late.

However, I ran into the excerpt rules between FR and BBC: something like 450 words. I considered dropping the effort altogether but pushed on hoping the excerpt would encourage readers to visit the source. In the main it seemed to draw the predictable response.

“Don’t forget Homo Erectus”

I think that applies to only guys like Pete Buttigieg.
