For those who like this kind of stuff, I was really into prehistoric times and paleotology when I was younger, give it a read.

And Is that Mustafa Al Turk?

interesting read, of course they had longer arms since we came from gorillas/apes/monkeys/ they all had the long arms to roam or swing vines, pretty cool read

makes sense that they were buff as shit

One arm was bigger and stronger than the other (the right arm), like me with my left and Brock's right.

We never came from Apes and I don't believe in Neanderthal Man.

Freak your anscestors evolved the belief in religion to cope with life and especially death, so it's no surprise you and most other humans hang on to those beliefs, even if technically they've been proven false. Had to, sorry. Smile

We didn't come from modern apes no, but both chimps and man evolved from the same anscestor about 6 million years ago. The long arms on Neanderthal aren't related to the arboreal habits of our distant anscestors though bird.

Neanderthals were an interesting human species. They too had religious beliefs. They weren't able to communicate nearly as well as we can because the fox p2 mutation that allows for complex verbal speaking happens in Homo Erectus and not in Neanderthal if I recall correctly, who is not a human anscestor. In fact Neanderthal was driven to extinction likely by competition from modern humans.

There used to be a theory that Neanderthals mixed with modern humans but genetic tests recently revealed that to be false unfortunately.

I didn't know about the larger arm, but it makes sense. Otherwise most of this article is common knowledge. Appreciate the gesture LA.
