Question

neanderthals and early modern homi sapiens.

Answer 1

The Neanderthal skulls, it has been observed that child skeletons would be showing that the the Neanderthal children grew slowly like the human children. Also, the age of the juvenile could be estimated through the jawbone in the Neanderthals, just like modern humans. In human evolution, development of teeth or dental anatomy was a major evolution. This helps in establishment of chronological age through days, years or moths or even the exact time.

Also, it had been observed that some of the vertebrae in the Neanderthals had not been fused like the modern humans. For the modern human children, the fusion had taken place by the 5th or the 6th years.

Also, the cranium showed that the cranium in the Neanderthals would be more protracted. For the adult Neanderthal brain, the cranium was 87.5% of that of the adult Neanderthal as compared to the 95% of the adult size in humans.

Neanderthals had been shorter in height as compared to early modern humans. Neanderthal brain had a raised larynx. In Neanderthals, there would be asymmetrical humerus, along with thick bones with barrel chest. There were also thicker meta carpels. Neanderthals were also more strong than modern humans.
