    Average Height
AI Thread Summary
The average height of early male humans was similar to that of Neanderthals, around 5'6" to 5'7". Both species had comparable brain sizes, but Neanderthals had a larger brain mass that was proportioned differently. Their brain structure favored memory, while early humans had a brain better suited for problem-solving. Neanderthals were generally shorter but heavier and more muscular than early human ancestors. Overall, despite some differences in physique and brain structure, the height and brain mass of both groups were quite similar.

Actually about the same size..we even had the same size brain
 
But theirs was bigger right
 
Well the mass was about the same, just proportioned differently. The area for memory was much greater then ours. Where ours is better suited for problem solving.
 
Neandertals were shorter than our ancestors, but they were also heavier since they were a lot more muscular. Their brains' mass was actually larger than ours, even compared to their body size. You're right that it was partitioned differently.

Thread 'Did they discover another descendant of homo erectus?'

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...
