Neanderthals (homo sapien neaderthalis) were actually as intelligent, if not more intelligent, than homo sapiens sapiens.

The brain was certainly larger, anyway.

They were not, however, particularly good at having babies. (Possibly because the women were just as large as the men and tended to participate in hunts or war, going by bones evidencing damage, whereas modern humans divided up hunting/war and baby raising.)

Regardless, modern humans with Neanderthal in them, tend to be a tad smarter than average.

So, while I appreciate your post, it’s based on outdated information.

As determined by scientists, many thousands of years after Neanderthals lived. And, the bigger size of the head, and even the size of the brain, do not indicate higher intelligence. That's mostly an assumption, which can't be verified. Whales and dolphins also have large brain sizes, some even larger than humans, so, would scientists conclude that whales and dolphins are smarter or as smart as humans?

Did you know the largest brain of an animal weighs a whopping 7.8kg? But which animal does it belong to? That award for the animal has the biggest brain goes to the sperm whale. The average weight of an adult male sperm whale's brain is 7.8kg compared to 1.4kg for a human's

So, is a sperm whale 5 or 6 times smarter than a human?

“Regardless, modern humans with Neanderthal in them, tend to be a tad smarter than average.”

Can you provide links to support that statement?

Regarding modern humans being weaker, I notice women tend to go for the big bad boys.
