Yeah, it's definitely worth noting that Neanderthal females were burly critters too. In a one on one situation I think the Cro-Magnon guy would have to worry about getting raped more than the Neanderthal female.
Gotta go. If you have information on the issue of arrested development or lack thereof in Neanderthals I'd love to hear it. I'll check in tomorrow.
Thanks for the correction on the Neanderthal's range. I like to trade ideas, but I hate to give out bad information as fact, even when its an honest mistake.
