> Neanderthals were less social than us....they could only trust and bond with a dozen or so others

I'm very curious, any justification of this?

Not sure about justification, but there's evidence that their brains were focused more on vision and movement.

Although, it appears that Neanderthals were bigger, but shorter than modern humans. I thought they were taller as well, but apparently that's not true
