They also had a lower brain to body ratio so weren't as intelligent.
- namlem 3y agoTheir ratio was about the same as homo sapiens. It's not clear that they were less intelligent, they seem to have had a similar degree of intelligence based on findings from caves in Spain.
- huytersd 3y agoAbout the same but significantly lower. Neanderthal cave art is basically scribbles and scratches compared to say Altamira.

- huytersd 3y agoIt’s pretty much the one metric that holds true across all animal species. Read about EQ (encephalization quotient)
