   There has to be a living person that is the very most Neanderthal, it would be cool if the consumer DNA companies consensually released that. It would satiate my curiosity and probably lead to lucrative influencer money for the person revealed

      They already got hunted down once, not sure I'd pop my squared jaw out of the hole for this era

         Oh I would totally go on the reality TV show My Neanderthal Life if it was me.

               I’ve seen this in a conspiratorial sort of light sk forgive me - but is there any relation between Perlman’s look and Neabdethalism?

                  He has a pretty square jaw and long (if not protruding) forehead that, to me, are reminescent of Neanderthal traits.

                  Also he's a pretty good actor.

                     Way too much chin, way too much forehead.

                     A more popular example seems to be giant Russian boxer Nikolai Valuev, who sports some serious brow ridges and a lower forehead, but still has too much chin.

                        I think that's more gigantism traits than Neanderthal, see Andre the Giant but admittedly I know nothing
