Neanderthals were -much- stronger than modern humans. They, just like all other primates, had just as much upper body strength as they did lower body strength. We sacrificed our upper body strength in order to require less food. This is what helped us survive over neanderthals.

Why is horse hair stronger than human hair?

Horse hair is stronger than human hair because it has a denser and thicker structure, with a larger diameter and more complex composition of proteins. These structural differences give horse hair greater strength and durability compared to human hair. Additionally, horse hair is designed to withstand external elements and provide protection for the animal, which also contributes to its strength.
