The article says the average Neanderthal was between 150 and 160 centimeters tall. Translated into American, that's 5 ft. to 5 ft. 4. They now think some may have been as tall as 175 centimeters which is 5 ft. 10 inches.

Since they found the footprints at the beach, maybe they can't say whether the Neanderthals always went barefoot or only when they were at the beach.

That's a good point about footwear -- probably fossil footprints exist, but are uniformly ignored as modern. :^)
