I think that the brain size of Neanderthal, on the average, was larger than that of H. Sapien. Check it out, and consider the consequence.

Their brains where larger, but studies point out that among modern humans, brains sizes have only a little effect on intelligent. Ofcourse the brains of neanderthals where a lot larger, but quality can't be discerned from fossils.

In any case, it is possible that their huge brains caused them to sit on a rock thinking all day while the stupid retarted homo sapiens spent their days procreating and killing anything in sight :) That would be a case where there is a evolutionary benefit to being stupid.
