Anatomical evidence suggests they were much stronger than modern humans (possibly stronger than the chimpanzee, given that they're the human's closest living relative) [1] while they were 12-14cm shorter on average than post World War II Europeans, but as tall or slightly taller than Europeans of 20 KYA: [2] based on 45 long bones from at most ...
Neanderthal 1, the type specimen, was known as the "Neanderthal cranium" or "Neanderthal skull" in anthropological literature, and the individual reconstructed on the basis of the skull was occasionally called "the Neanderthal man". [107]
With a supposedly large nose and a big face, moderate [6] midfacial prognathism, a small brow ridge and small [7] teeth, Amud 1 exhibits an unusual mosaic of features compared to European Neanderthals. Contrary of majority of other Neanderthals, especially European Neanderthals, its brow ridges are slender and it has a somewhat developed chin. [8]

The percentage of Neanderthal genes gradually decreased with time, which could indicate they were maladaptive and were selected out of the gene pool. [ 19 ] Location of the Zlatý kůň fossil with an age of at least ~40,000 years, that yielded genome-wide data.
The Neanderthal DNA found in modern human genomes has long raised questions about ancient interbreeding. New studies offer a timeline of when that occurred and when ancient humans left Africa.
