no more neanderthal cos the new hybrid was better.
they stopped breading only with themselves. be it through forced rape. or mutual consent.
any that didnt interbread just simply dwindled untill they didnt exist no more. or bread with one of the hybrids.
The article says they died off because they couldn't adapt to hunting small game, but that doesn't make sense. Throw a rock to kill a deer, throw a rock to kill a rabbit. Same system/technique. There must have been more than that. A whole species can't vanish through interbreeding. If they're a social animal, which evidence suggests, then breeding with another species is unlikely....but not impossible.
Something in this article doesn't make sense. I reckon that something is probably the logical element of it.
