Scientists reveal the face of a Neanderthal who lived 75,000 years ago

A 40-something woman was buried in a cave 75,000 years ago, laid to rest in a gully hollowed out to accommodate her body. Her left hand was curled under her head, and a rock behind her head may have been placed as a cushion.
Im assuming they found the full body skeleton so they can "assume" "her" gender? And now some distant relative/alphabet group will sue for them misgendering her.
I wonder how tall she was. Being buried like that probably points to her being an important elder as living 40 yrs back then must be like 100+ today.

Considering this: Scientists studying her remains have painstakingly pieced together her skull from 200 bone fragments, a process that took nine months
I would like to know how they can even assume Her left hand was curled under her head, and a rock behind her head may have been placed as a cushion.
Things like this a usually many small pieces of bones that require tons of fill in for the missing pieces and are at best honest guesses; however, they are sold as indisputable scientific facts.

A grown female would be about 5 feet or so. Based on over 40 skeletons, grown males averaged 5'4. However, they were strong and had about twice the muscle mass of humans. An average male could prolly bench tree fiddy or more without any training. If a human back then approached a Neanderthal without weapons and just wanted to throw down, the Neanderthal would frick him up.
A human baw who was out in the wilderness might have found Neanderthal women hot enough when he was desperate. Today, European derived people have about 2% of Neanderthal in them and East Asians have slightly more.
