Who had larger brains: homo sapiens or neanderthals?

homo sapiens

neanderthals

neanderthals didn't exist

“homo sapiens” and “neanderthals” mean the same

Neanderthals had large cranial capacity (1,600 cm3), which was larger than that of modern humans. Compared to modern humans, neanderthals had shorter legs and bigger bodies - this was likely an adaptation to preserve heat in cold climates. Larger eye sockets suggest that their eyesight may have been better than that of modern humans.
