The statement "Compared to Neanderthals, modern humans have shorter arms and larger teeth" is generally false.
1. **Shorter Arms**: Neanderthals were known to have robust builds with shorter limbs, including shorter arms compared to modern humans. Modern humans, on the other hand, have relatively longer and more slender arms in comparison to Neanderthals.
2. **Larger Teeth**: Neanderthals typically had larger teeth compared to modern humans. This difference in tooth size is one of the distinctive features used by anthropologists to distinguish between Neanderthal and modern human remains. Modern humans generally have smaller teeth relative to the size of their jaws compared to Neanderthals.
Therefore, the statement is false as it inaccurately describes the differences in arm length and tooth size between Neanderthals and modern humans.
