| − | Neanderthals were able to dominate their homes for several centuries due to their increased brain size of about 1450 cc. However, recent studies have shown that Homo Neanderthalis may have gone extinct due its brain structure, rather than size. Recent evidence has shown that the Neanderthals' brain structure focuses mostly on vision rather than social and abstract thinking. Nonetheless, the brain size of Neanderthals was large enough to make it a dominant species on Earth for quite some time.
