  1. REFLECTIONS • Describe the environment that these hominids lived in. • What type of hominid are they. How are they different to us? • What adaptations did they have that allowed them to survive in their environment?

  2. Neanderthal Power! • Massive, broad shoulders are indicated by a scapular breadth that is about 8% larger than modern humans • Muscle attachments for the pectorals were enormous, up to twice the size of today’s average. • Neanderthals had shorter, wider upper arms. • The bones in their forearms were bowed from muscles that must have powered a grip that could crush bone. • Massive quads that specialized in explosive power and side-to-side movement.

  3. So, why all the Beef?

  4. Would a Neanderthal be able to adapt to the Modern World that we live in? Me so hungry! Maybe I can eat my co-workers?
