Which of the following is not a characteristic differentiating Neanderthals from modern humans?

a. Neanderthals had smaller brains.

b. Neanderthals were shorter.

c. Neanderthals were stronger.

d. Neanderthals had larger noses. E. Neanderthals had projecting brow ridges.

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "E. Neanderthals had projecting brow ridges." While the structure of the head and face were not very far removed from those of modern humans, there were still quite noticeable differences. Notably the modern human head is shorter, with a less pronounced facial front.
