NEANDERTHAL MALES HAD POPEYE-LIKE ARMS !

Ever watched the series POPEYE-THE SAILOR MAN on CARTOON NETWORK? In case you have not,I would suggest you to have a look at the character of POPEYE before reading this item.The reason behind this is the study carried out by the Russian researchers led by Maria Mednikova of the Institute of Archaeology at the Russian Academy of Sciences,which has concluded that Neanderthal males had unusually strong upper arms( just like the cartoon character) particularly on the right side.

Remains of an early Neanderthal with a super strong arm suggest that Neanderthal fellows were heavily pumped up on male hormones,possessing a hormonal status unlike anything that exists in humans today,the study suggested.

Researchers said Neanderthal males probably evolved their ultra macho ways due to lifestyle,genes,climate and diet factors.They also hunted in the extreme,helping to beef up one arm.
