As far as the brain goes, the Neanders had more cerebellum to control the muscle mass--not frontal lobage. That gave them a large braincase. They were likely pretty dumb.

Come on, you should know from comparative anatomy that your argument for greater room for the cerebellum is invalid since much much larger and more active animals than man had extremely tiny brains compared to body size. Besides, degree of innervation in muscle mass is a function of muscle use, not of cerebellum size.
