An analysis of the footsteps of one of the women, dubbed TRex, shows she reached a height of 17'4.5" on a hard, polished stage. 
All these people that were so much stronger than us left notarized statements to that effect did they?
Serously now, it was not a case of them being “stronger” it was a case of the strongest surviving. The weak died off. They had little support in a world of eat or be eaten, kill or be killed.
Good Lord. Where do they find guys willing to write stuff like this.
In a battle of brains v. brawn, brains will win everytime, as long as it’s not within arm’s length of brawn.
“The human body is very plastic and it responds to stress. We have lost 40 percent of the shafts of our long bones because we have much less of a muscular load placed upon them these days.”
“We are simply not exposed to the same loads or challenges that people were in the ancient past and even in the recent past so our bodies haven’t developed. Even the level of training that we do, our elite athletes, doesn’t come close to replicating that.”
Hell, the day may not be too far off where the human race won`t have the skeletal/muscular strength to stand up.
For the past several years, I've adopted a regimen of walking 10 miles or more each day (20,000 steps on the pedometer). I get up at 5AM and walk four miles before breakfast. It takes me three hours a day of solid walking to get to the 10 mile minimum. People I tell this to think this is some kind of incredible achievement. But it's really nothing at all and people from an earlier era would scoff because not too long ago, it was normal for humans to be on their feet pretty much every waking moment and many people would walk 10 miles just to fetch water and food.
I remember reading the Journals of Lewis and Clark years ago. They talked about sending out a hunter in the morning while all the other men were busy at camp. The hunter would return with three deer or two deer or an elk. I well know the chore of bringing in a deer or elk, he was bringing in multiples. Think about pulling a boat from St Louis to western Montana.
Look at some of those old hand dug canals back east. Imagine people today trying to do work on that scale by hand.
The Neandertal EnigmaFrayer'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]

I hates liberals. If I were a neandertal, I’d be dead by now. No doubt in my mind.
Son and I were in the grocery Sunday grinding up 5 bags of coffee. There was no one on the aisle when we started and between us and the buggy we were hogging the whole thing. With all of our cutting up it took several minutes to grind it all.
Just was we finished we noticed a meek, metrosexual looking guy behind us waiting impatiently to get by. We both apologized and moved out of the way as he ignored us and went by without saying a word. After he passed my son looked at me and said, “that’s the first time I’ve ever seen a man with no balls.”
