neandertal still had those grass munching teath, surely it would have substituted its diet mainly with veges, since it did also eat veges and not just meat.
lack of meat dont lead to extinction. otherwise vegetarians would have died out years ago.
just curious.

some hindus still eat no meat or fish whatsoever, and quite a few others

and then its back to the question of where is the missing link between cromagnon and us .

Our early ancestors adapted to living on the ground as the african forests receded, giving way to open savanah and grassland we see today. We were omnivorous eating a wide variety of fruit, berries and insects etc, the teeth found in fossils shows us the diet of our ancestors and we did not eat grass, otherwise we would have no need for canines and incisors. Neanderthals, Cro-magnon all have molars for processing vegetable matter as do we.

yep all have molars as well as canines so meat had nothing to do with it.

that was my point.

---

they wwere omnivores too

---

its probably through the shortage of meat and the search of vegetation, that the 2 species met and interacted (Bred)

---

highly likely to have been on the russian steppes

---

or mongolia region

---

as the cold receded leaving open fresh grasslands and vegetation

all just theory though.
