Why do Neandertals have the largest brains of all of the fossil hominins? Group of answer choices because of adaptation to cold environments (Bergmann's rules) because they were likely smarter as evidenced by the advent of advanced technology such as long-distance weaponry because the were more evolutionarily advanced than other groups
