Do the new neanderthal reconstructions look Caucasoid ? ?

Answer 1

Yes, probably because the reconstruction artists were Caucasians...

Answer 2

Caucasoid...how outmoded.

The Neanderthals were hominids that lived in Europe for thousands of years. Naturally, they would evolve and adapt just similar to Humans, another hominid, in the same climate. They would have similar skin color, nose shape, and hair texture. However, make no mistake, DNA sequencing shows that humans are humans, neanderthals are neanderthals, and italians are sketchy

Answer 3

Yes, because DNA evidence suggests they had light coloured hair and skin from the mutations on the MC1R gene.

It was pretty racist before, giving them dark brown skin, if you think about it. They lived in a low UV area, there's no reason to think they be anything other than light coloured.
