The life of the caveman was undoubtedly nasty, brutish and short. That said, they were more robust than we are. Even their bones were larger and stronger. Don't know that that has much to do with diet. They found the skeleton of a Neanderthal woman who, they estimate, would have been 5-0 197. Basically, you wouldn't have wanted to mess with her. Also, an Ice Age aboriginal left tracks indicating that he would have been faster than Usain Bolt. We're not half the men we used to be.
