Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the above (scapula, tibia, and humerus) can be characterized as reflecting musculoskeletal hypertrophy in Neanderthal skeletons. This is because they were adapted to a lifestyle that required a lot of physical strength and endurance, such as hunting large game and surviving in cold environments. These bones have thicker and stronger attachments for muscles, indicating a greater level of muscular development compared to modern humans.
