La Chapelle Mandible
 Note that only one tooth remains. Roots grew over the bone, showing that he lived for many years without teeth, which helps the argument that he lived in a group where some level of social support existed.

Kebara Pelvis, from Israel

 Note the long superior pubic ramus

 This is a comparison of the modern human superior pubic ramus compared to the Kebara pelvis: the Kebara superior pubic ramus is longer

Lucy's pelvis for comparison
 Note, this pelvis is long side to side. Modern humans are round, and Neandertals are long front to back.
