The morphology of the Neandertals, including their stocky build and shorter limbs, suggests a biological adaptation to cold climates. This body type would have allowed them to conserve body heat in colder environments. While Neandertals did eat meat, this is not the primary reason for their morphology. Brachiation, or arm-swinging, is not a trait observed in Neandertals. Warm climates would not select for a stocky build and shorter limbs, as these characteristics would increase heat retention and therefore be disadvantageous in a warm environment.
