Homo neanderthalensis gets standard DGS colors
DGS
= digital graphic segregation is here applied to two same scale Homo skulls (Fig 1).
Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis.

Homo sapiens
(Linneaus 1758) extant ~2-3 m tall. After the string of evolutionary steps beginning with Ediacaran worms, then extending to Pronconsul, Ardipithecus and the rest of the hominines, there is not much left to produce Homo sapiens, the human being from its predecessors Homo floresiensis and Homo erectus. Humans have an enlarged braincase, reduced temporal openings, a reduced snout, a prominent forehead, smaller teeth, a chin, smaller mandible. The arms are shorter and the legs are longer.
Homo neanderthalensis has not yet been scored for the LRT.
