The robust frame, heavy but a generally low fat to muscle ratio, for males
an exceptionally hairy body. Sometimes you'll see the prominent brows.
I think it would be very interesting to study people classicaly
termed "european peasantry" to see if there are some genetic
correlates for neanderthal-like features. There may be some remnants
of relatively pure neanderthal lineages around and if so, it would be
good to let those people know how valuable they are.
