Neanderthal Anatomy Research

I have also, been looking into the anatomy of the Neanderthals and how their body is formed. The Neanderthals are generally quite short in height and have a stocky body. Their shoulder bones are quite prominent but, their shoulder blades are quite short. They have a barrelled rib cage which is quite different to the normal shape of a rib cage. Their cranium was overall bigger than humans today which means they had a larger brain too.The Neanderthals were also recognisable from their bun shape at the back of the skull.  
The Neanderthals had a lot of muscle over their body too, from keeping fit and doing a lot of work hunting animals and building houses, and also from their eating style.
