The biggest noses of homosapiens are the smallest for neanderthals. I personally think they had darker skin and looked rougher than this if you imagine how hard conditions they lived in there was maybe allot of wild game but the climate was extreme. They hunted on Mammoths. I think they had more like a reddish skin or at least oily colored skin snow actually increases sunburns white skin evolved from misty weather or places where their is less sun in general like Finland or Siberia. Eventho black colored people need more vitamine D for their skin they have better protection against skin damage. So I dont think they looked like a buffed up scottish peoples. I hope they will find more neanderthal artifacts if you imagine that the neanderthals and homosapiens lived together for around 20 000 years and people probably didnt get the chance to become that old how much interaction their must have been how many interesting amazing civilizations and adventurous things must have happened in 40 generations that we know nothing about. The only reason that maybe less happened is because their where less people but if you consider all the different species of hominid that you had in the early stone age and how many types of humanoids we still havent discovered their probably was allot of variation and all these species worked in a different way. Thats really interesting if you consider how hard it is for us different races to live together in peace how would these people live under different conditions probably who knows what has been forgotten. I hope we invent a time machine but i probably wont be here when that happens.

I am an esteemed psychologist from Yemen, and I once went into the great pyramid of Giza and found a jug of urine that belonged to Pharaoh Ramesses ii, I drank 50ml of it and had strange dreams for a whole week: -
1- This might sound a bit odd and random, but I have actually dreamt of Zeus mating with a palm tree and begetting an ant that is capable of crawling on the edge of the Higgs Boson!
2- I also dreamt of my mitochondria protesting to break free from my organelles, claiming that nature has enslaved them!
3- On another night of a full moon, I dreamt of Professor Noam Chomsky eating books and regurgitating the field of Modern Linguistics!
4- The funniest dream I ever had, was when I had a vision of a Neanderthal swallowing a whole apple, and it played ping-pong with his heart while passing down his esophagus!
5- This is by no means a joke, but the most disgusting dream I ever had, was of a female's menstruation blood turning into jelly and being marketed by an Oompa Loompa as Halloween treats!
6- I also had a nightmare of riding on a mare at night, with the Pharaoh's personal witch, she was pregnant with a fetus that was eating her placenta!
Do you think my dreams have any philosophical implications at all?
I'm just a little concerned that I'm having a neurological malfunction!
Given that I've heard my neurons conspiring to abandon the dwelling of my skull, things don't seem to be heading in the right direction, ever since!

Recent discoveries in South Africa put the use of fire back to about 1. 7 million years ago, long before the Neandertals even evolved. Of course, it was use of fire, not making of fire back then. But by the time the Neandertals evolved a million years later, it is very likely they knew how to make and keep fire as well as have a fully functional language. The most recent work puts the beginning of articulate language with the second stage of Homo Erectus, the species that first colonized Europe and Asia. The more we discover, the more able and clever our ancestors apear to have been. So it would be best to end each factual statement with something like in the current state of our knowledge. Who knows what well have discovered say in the next 30 years!

Max plank institutue discovered that some of the Neanderthals were vegetarian.
So they started the day sipping on dandelion tea. The men lounged around talking about philosophy while the children and women went out to gather. In mid day they got together and swam and bathed in the river, then took a nap. They woke late in the afternoon and took a stroll down to the shore. In the evening they put on body paint and their feathered capes, ate mushrooms and sat around the fire and played music on flutes and danced.
I mean you really can just go wild with the stories off what little we know

Neanderthals and humans did not interbreed on any sustained level. For the few times they might have interbred, considering that they were 2 different species, it is very unlikely that a viable offspring was produced. (Consider that the forced breeding of donkeys and horses produces mules, which are sterile. If we look long and hard at ourselves we will realize what happened to the Neanderthals.
We hmo sapiens exterminated them.
That is what we do!
The howls of outrage that this post will generate will be from people who are unwilling to acknowledge who we are as a species

The size of their nose is a controvertial Thing, because, in cold places, a big nose may help warming a little more the air, but it also makes easier to get frozen. According to my teacher in Evolution, their nose size is because of the strength of their muscles. Neandertal had a very large lungs and, powerful muscles and they need to make a lot of exercise everyday, so, a bigger nose comes with a bigger income of air which is need by the correct function of their muscles. BTW I'm a student in Anthropology in the University of Granada.

What happened 42K years ago that could lead to the extinction of the Neanderthals and of several other animals as well? The Earth temporarily lost its magnetic field via a pole shift, enabling the sun to bombard all life on Earth with deadly radiation. This could have caused sterility in either the male or the female or both of several species. The timing of this radiation also marks the beginning of modern man. Coincidence? I think not. Which means the sun having its way with life is the missing link.

They appear to have been doing well. eating their raw meat and making tools. that is, until they ran into your ancestors. those Africans who decided to invade Europe.
Those new Europeans as history has proven. became a most territorial and intolerant breed of sapians. I wonder if their early meetings with a short, powerfully built hominid. who's women were stronger than our men, had anything to do with this desire to conquer that became habitual for the people of Europe?

Neanderthal needles have been found. So they had fitted garments stitched together, and not just a pile of fur rags. No matter how big your nose is, it will not be sufficient to live through an ice age. The Innuit have fitted foot ware without a last. You could not live through a Siberian/Canadian winter in rags, and our climate is mild by comparison. Unless they had a double layer of fur like a Polar Bear. Any exposed skin would get frost bite.

Studies on modern hunter - gatherer tribes shows that the average working day is 6-8 hours. If you spend 12 hours on Monday tracking a gazelle and bring it down, it could provide you with enough meat to sustain your group until Thursday -so Tuesday and Wednesday you do light duties- a couple of hours butchering the Gazelle on Tuesday, and a couple of hours repairing and maintaining your equipment on Wednesday.

We don't know if they had language or not but they definitely had sofisticated communication not just grunts and hands. They were human (hominoid) just not homo sapiens but close enough to intercourse with each other and reproduce hybrids as were Denisovans. Did these people originate someplace not in Africa?

Now there is a question out there and to Neanderthals can't answer it because they love doing it who invented eating p it wasn't Neanderthals because they looked at a they looked at the animals as a male animal went up to a female animal to see if she was in season and he liked it so much he kept doing it

Neanderthals could make fire. Since many lived during the ice age, they would not have the convenience of waiting for a brush fire ignited by lightening to scoop up cinders. They made tools from flint, and made their own pitch to attach to sticks to make throwing spears. They knew how to make fire.

The large number of apparent child burials is because they had high infant mortality, like all hunter-gatherers. As for understanding emotions including grief, chimpanzees experience grief. Goodall and her team have described younger chimps pining for a dead mother and dying.

There is no physical reason a Neanderthal couldn't speak. Assuming they could not speak seems a large leap. Neanderthals had the anatomical properties to create the sounds that could form the basis of speech. We'll have to ask one after one is cloned.

I was out of here after seeing females with blurred out breasts and wearing bra like tops. ridiculous. Too many facts were off as well. Neanderthal could definitely make fire and even mastered a complicated procedure to make glue from birch tar.

Not disputing it, just wondered how they know that they shared the kill equally before heading back to their families. There are several statements like that throughout this video that, while they MAY be true, we really have no way of knowing.

I'm no scientist but big nose for cold? Air is denser when cold and I think a big nose is a o2 muscle feeder? You certainly don't need bigger nostrils for colder thicker air. I just don't think that's right? But I'm no scientist!

In southern france a few years ago they found footprints of Neanderthal and the estimates changed their height dramatically. What they believe are female footprints put the neanderthal averaging at 6 foot.
