All of your fictitious images show human-sized eyes, which is totally wrong, Neanderthal eye sockets are twice the size of ours or more (from themandus.com again):

Danny Vendraamini's reproductions show the thing right:

neanderthal 4

That's without the ice-age fur coat for illustration purposes. The Ice age in Europe was really cold, you'd last five or ten minutes without the fur coat if you were lucky.

With the fur coat:

neanderprofile, hairy ape with fur

varmintman: "All of your fictitious images show human-sized eyes, which is totally wrong, Neanderthal eye sockets are twice the size of ours or more..."

Now you've gone back to posting inaccurate caricatures of Neanderthals -- wrong in every respect -- from skin color to noses to over-sized "bug eyes".

In fact, Neanderthal eye sockets were no larger than most pre-human hominids, or than modern chimpanzees.
And we can see exactly how large are chimpanzee eyes.
So your caricatures are just not accurate.

A = modern chimps, J, K & L = Neanderthals, M & N = modern humans:
