I like that a Neanderthal woman would have beat Ahhnold in an arm wrestle.

[Requia ☣]

Not only would she beat him, she's break every bone in his hand just by squeezing.

H. Neandertalis had scary forceps (yes you can tell how big the muscles are by looking at the bone, the stronger the muscle the bigger the distortion on the bone where the muscle attaches).  Not really a fair comparison though, a Neanderthal woman would have beat prehistoric H Sapiens men too.

[Remington]

Neanderthals didn't have guns, though.

We may be lacking in physical strength, but we compensate through technology.

[Requia ☣]

Yep, of course the late period fuckers had bigger brains then us, and tools to match. We should probably be thankful our ancestors took them out so quick, or they'd have gotten guns first.

And Hummers.
And steroids.
And cigars.
And full-automatic weapons.
And shitty movie careers.
And sexual harassment charges.

I forget where I was going with this.

Gotta get me one of them.  Did they drink rum and listen to the rock and the roll?

OP reminded me of your Least Fit Monkey rant.

Are you sure?  Everything I've read suggested they had a smaller toolkit than contemporary Cro-Magnon.

Also, they didn't store food.  Some would consider this a flaw, and it may suggest they lacked the social organisation for long-term planning.

[LMNO]

I was under the impression that this was because the food simply migrated their way when they were hungry.

[Kai]

This is all well and good, but my question,

what the hell muscle is a forcept?

[AFK]

I think that was the one they used for gynecological exams.

PAGING GENERAL STUART.

GENERAL STUART TO THIS THREAD PLZ.

troof.

also, 2/3 of neanderthal women deserved what they got.

The size of a brain is not necessarily relative to intelligence. Just sayin.

True, to a degree.
