Why didn't Neanderthals evolve it then? Larger brain volume, but musculature sufficient to make a fist a deadly weapon. They could stave in each other's skulls with a punch.
Evolution doesn't work that way. The fact an option is available doesn't mean they will evolve for it unless there is such strong selection pressure to do so it outweighs other factors.
