All conjecture, and no solid evidence on the demise of Neanderthals. It's just possible that subspecies was more susceptible to certain viruses and diseases. They did co-exist and even interbred with h*mo sapiens for tens of thousands of years. There are many places besides Africa where large animals thrived in the presence of h*mo sapiens for many millenia, such as right here on the American continent, which held tens of millions of buffalo until market hunters with guns wiped them out. But all things considered, I think it's safe to blame our pro-gun President Donald Trump for their extinction, since the Liberal Left blames him for everything else under the sun.
In fact, the predatory groups of h*mo sapiens that canvasback speculated about killing Neanderthals were probably coming from a Trump rally. Tune in to CNN for details.
