 I would like to compare a healthy well-fed Neanderthal to a healthy well-fed 
modern human. Also, I have read that in the West, the average size of people 
has increased over several generations because of diet. Imagene that the 
Neanderthal in question had several well-fed healthy generations preceding him 
or her . Would this hypothetical Neanderthal be able to walk off the street and 
lift more than a trained Olympic weightlifter. Would such a Neanderthal male be 
sronger than the average NFL player? Would an average, heathly, well-fed 
Neanderthal woman be stronger than the average modern human male?
