Neanderthal Research

I have been doing some research on Neanderthals and how they looked like, as well as moved around and also acted. Neanderthals were thought to exist over 200,000 years ago and were thought to be extinct 28,000 years ago. They are a subspecies of the humans and were closely related to the modern day humans with around 99.5% matching DNA. Their remains are still found around the world to this day, including skulls, teeth and bones. A lot of remains for the Neanderthals where found around most of Western Europe, Central Europe, Ukraine, Western Russia, Central and Northern Asia and Western Asia, this also infers that the Neanderthals lived in the Eastern parts of the world. Neanderthals had a lot more robust build than humans now, and had a lot of morphological features, most noticably with their cranium. As well as this, a genetic study in 2007 has shown that Neanderthals possibly have red hair and blonde hair as well as a lighter skin tone. Neanderthals are also, suggested to have a large eye socket capacity inferring that they have better eye sight than modern humans today and noticeably a larger cranium than modern humans too.
