I'm pretty sure I know what made their ends stink.

We cross-bred them into extinction...

As Seabass hints, they didn't have guns. If only they had guns.

They had guns al-right. With no humans around they couldn't figure how to use them. You know what happens when a superior civilization contacts a lesser one. Wipe out time.

Neanderthals are extinct in the same way that the Aurox is extinct.
Their descendants are nearly everywhere, but the appearance has changed.

That's "aurochs" I believe.

As to what killed the Neanderthals, it was evolution did that.

I was on a welding course with a guy whose appearance exactly (or damn near) matched what I imagine Neanderthals to have looked like.
He was pretty...different-looking and quite a few people on the course were strangely freaked out by him at first.

He turned out to be Moroccan and actually very good company at the lunch table. Nice chap. :eddy:





Anyway.....carry on. :shifty:

We all have Neanderthal genes, so they are not extinct. Actually, they can't really be classed as a separate species from modern man, as they obviously interbred quite readily.

It was just a question of numbers, that we have more African genes than Neanderthal.
The last major glaciation killed off most of the Neanderthals, except those to the extreme south.
Then, when the ice retreated, humans from the south spread north, and interbred with the small number of Neanderthals left. They were much more in number, because the ice didn't get as far as their homelands.
