There is no physical evidence for long hair, on the head or the face. That is an artist imagination at work. Take away the hair, and the resemblance is even closer!

Humans rank among the most repulsive, foul smelling creatures on the planet.
Which is why humans started adorning themselves with the furs of animals and the feathers of birds.
And why cats don’t need to wear lipstck.

Cuz they were primitive creatures and like lots of primitive people I know, or knew in college, they weren’t all that keen on grooming and such.
Now why do you think they had short hair?

And try soap, deodorant and plastic surgery if it's so offensive.

I think there is no way to know one way or the other. It is strictly artistic license, there is no scientific evidence. Just like there is no evidence that there bodies were covered with long hair, as they are often depicted.

At least my post was serious, and made an attempt to address the article.
Your "LOL!" was neither.
If you disagree, let's hear all about it.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend gorgeous people like you.

Seems like it went over your head. My post was both addressing the topic and was a 'serious' reply.
Oh, c'mon, Blam, we can *never* have too many Neandertopics. ;')
The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve
Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]
