I mean, really, dude?

I would say that runner a 400 in a single digit number of seconds is out of the question for most.
As slow as it is comparsed to te supposed average here

Wrong. Again. The latest scientific evidence on Neanderthals were that they lived in heavily forested snow-bound areas, which precluded running after prey. They apparently used their weapons in close ambush - but not throwing. As the climate changed, the environment became more open with grassland.
So now we are blaming Neanderthals for climate change???

Only a Neanderthal would conclude they brought about the end of the last ice age.
I would say they were more endomorphic if you eant to go that route. They were short, stocky, fast twitch dominant, fat gaining beasts. Just like an endomorph, or an endo/meso more specifically. Think someone like Mike Tyson or Igor Vovchanchyn. Look at people like Eddie Hall or Brian Shaw, endomorphs have the most robust modern body (when trained anyways)
uhh, no. The reason west africa is better at sprinting is because diseases like malaria were rampant moreso than the rest of the world. Type II muscle fibers are anaerobic and so africans dont require as much blood

Neanderthals were shorter but more powerful than the East African homo sapians which replaced them in Europe. Their fast twitch muscle fiber density must have been insane. I'm guessing you could take one at random, put a pair of spikes on his feet and tell him a dinner of roast bison is one lap of the track away and he could scorch round in 20 seconds, a full 50 seconds faster than the average modern American male.
No idea in regard to the 400m ,but about 4:52:8x for the 1600m

Exactly, malaria makes you super fast.

Incorrect, their longer heel bone meant that they couldn't store energy in their Achilles tendon in the way that we do when we run.
Not joking. They were extremely slow, which was one of several anatomical disadvantages when compared to modern humans. They also couldn't throw properly.
See this peer reviewed research backing my claims:
David A. Raichlen, Hunter Armstrong, Daniel E. Lieberman, Calcaneus length determines running economy: Implications for endurance running performance in modern humans and Neandertals, Journal of Human Evolution, Volume 60, Issue 3, 2011, Pages 299-308
Sorry to crush your Neanderthal running fantasies.
Yeah, they were bad at covering ground generally. They thrived during a time when the part of Europe where they lived was dense forest. They did a lot (most?) of their hunting by ambushing large animals from behind trees. As the climate changed and plains opened up, modern humans were better equipped to follow animal herds, chase game, etc.
My 23 and me recently sent me something stating I am a small part Neanderthal, so I'll take this.
Pretty slow due to my distance related running preference.
Besides, meters weren't invented when my relatives were knuckle dragging back in the day.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
Running for Bowerman Track Club used to be cool now its embarrassing
Hats off to my dad. He just ran a 1:42 Half Marathon and turns 75 in 2 months!
