Their brain size was the same as a modern human.
Neanderthals had slightly larger brains than modern humans on average, but there were differences in the organization and structure of their brains. Neanderthals had a larger visual processing area, while modern humans have larger areas related to higher cognitive functions. Neanderthals likely had similar cognitive abilities to modern humans, but may have had differences in social behaviors and communication.
They were the same size.
They are the same size.
No. While most modern humans have 1 to 4 percent Neanderthal DNA in them, Sub-Saharan Africans don't have any.
The average Neanderthal brain size is estimated to be around 1,600 cubic centimeters, which is larger than the average modern human brain size of around 1,350 cubic centimeters. This suggests that Neanderthals had relatively larger brains compared to modern humans.
A Neanderthal is a hominid, belonging to the same family (Hominidae) as modern humans. They were neither primitive nor advanced in comparison to modern humans; they had their own unique adaptations and characteristics that helped them survive in their environment.
Yes, some northern Europeans have Neanderthal genes due to interbreeding between early modern humans and Neanderthals that occurred tens of thousands of years ago. This genetic intermixing is believed to have taken place as modern humans migrated out of Africa and encountered Neanderthals in Europe and Asia.
Homo erectus is the closest relative to modern humans out of the options provided. They are believed to be direct ancestors of Homo sapiens, while Australopithecines, Cro-Magnon, and Homo habilis are not as closely related in the evolutionary timeline.
Neanderthal was an ancient human, closely related to modern humans.
Shorter and stockier than modern humans.
All modern humans, except Sub-Sahara Africans, carry 1 to 4 percent Neanderthal DNA in their genome.
Yes. The Neanderthal body was adapted to cold weather. It had a larger mass than modern humans, which helped retain heat.
According to modern science, very similar as it has been found that the modern human that has lived among neanderthal man ie above Africa has traces of neanderthal DNA. While Africans below that area are pure humans.
No. While most modern humans have 1 to 4 percent Neanderthal DNA in them, Sub-Saharan Africans don't have any.
Either because of climate change, or competition from Cro-Magnon man (modern humans).

It is very likely that modern humans have a great many Neanderthal genes in our common human makeup.
