Le Moustier argues that Ancient Man matured at a much slower rate than Modern Man

Le Moustier:

This Neanderthal skull, discovered in 1909 in France, was determined by Dr. Jack Cuozzo to be between 15 and 18 years of age at the time of death. Of particular interest is the fact that Le Moustier still had a number of baby teeth present!!.

If they could retain baby teeth to the late teens or even later, it means that Neanderthal had a much slower maturation process than do people today. Therefore, it's highly probable that they would live to be much older!
