"We know for a scientific fact how the muscles and tendons attach to the skull and based on human skull anatomy we can theorize how the muscles and soft tissue would be for a Neanderthal skull. Plus, since science has mapped Neanderthal DNA we now know how close to us they actually are, pretty darn close, almost exact. So close that many Anthropologists would consider Neanderthals a sub-species of Homo sapiens and not a separate species.
In the strictest terms we are classified as Homo sapiens sapiens and to many, Neanderthals would be classified as Homo sapiens neanderthalensis, a sub-species."
