By looking at the structure of the skeleton, experts were able to obtain strong evidence for what Neanderthals would have looked like and their behaviour. The skeleton was no more than 1.62 m (5 foot 4 inches) tall with a powerful build. Features of the skeleton were:
Homo neanderthalensis had a robust build, with a stocky body and shorter limbs compared to modern humans. They had a distinctive skull with a prominent brow ridge, a sloping forehead, and a larger braincase. They likely had a more muscular physique and adapted to cold climates with their short, powerful bodies.
Scientists once thought that neanderthals (or neandertals) were very different physiologically than our current species homo- sapiens. This misunderstanding came from the faulty reconstruction of a neanderthal skeleton though which showed it having a slouch and bent knees. On the contrary, neanderthals walked upright and had no significant knee bend, they were also highly cultured and appear to have had symbolic rituals like the burial of the dead, they also produced sophisticated stone tools. they likely had a larger muscle mass than modern day humans, and because of this had a larger brain size.
Neanderthals were known for being slumped over, had a high brow line which protruded out a bit more than us humans do. And having a lot of muscle tissue in the arms and legs, kind of like Popeye. Most theories were held that they had little hair like us humans, but recent discoveries prove to go along the opposite. that they were quite hairy, which leads to recent thought that people reporting to see wild men, yetis, or better known Bigfoot. Good be a surviving decedent to neanderthals.
Shorter than modern humans, but stockier.
Humans where formed both by some winter cold and technologies. The more technologies have humans - the colder regions they can populate without disturbing the anatomy. For example, after demography explosion 50 thousand years ago, humans inhabited Europe and Asia. Asian frost gave to asians a very big brain but a bit ot anatomic loss: lower height and lower chin.
Prehumans (neanderthalensis and so on) tryed to inhabit Europe and Asia about 500 thousand years ago with very low technology level. So their anatomic lost was of the same way, but 10-100 times bigger then modern Asians. Both in Asia and Europe
It looks like human like and it stands upright. it has a lot of hair on it's body and it is shorter than modern human maybe....
Shorter and stockier than modern humans. Weak chin, prominent brow ridge, pale skin, probably red hair.

Physically, Neanderthals had a larger body mass, bigger muscles, an expanded ribcage that housed larger lungs, a weak chin and a prominent brow ridge.

They looked like gorillas and modern humans, both.
The scientific name for Neanderthals is Homo neanderthalensis.
Homo sapiens probably evolved from Homo erectus, while Homo neanderthalensis and Homo floresiensis evolved separately from different branches of the Homo lineage. Homo neanderthalensis and Homo floresiensis did not directly evolve into Homo sapiens.
Neanderthals are sometimes referred to as Homo sapiens neanderthalensis because they are considered a separate species within the Homo genus. The species name "neanderthalensis" indicates their distinctiveness from anatomically modern Homo sapiens.
Scientists classify men under the genus Homo, along with other species like Homo sapiens, Homo neanderthalensis, and Homo erectus.

Homo neanderthalensis
Neanderthal man belongs to the species Homo neanderthalensis.
- 230,000 to 30,000 b.c.e
in Africa, Europe, and parts of western Asia
From 230,000 to 30,000 years ago.
Yes, early Homo sapiens neanderthalensis did use stone tools. They were skilled toolmakers, creating a variety of tools such as hand axes, scrapers, and knives. The use of tools played a crucial role in their survival and adaptation to different environments.
13300 to 32000 years ago.... hope that helps! :)
