The Neandertal EnigmaFrayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

Lack of giant toothbrushes at scene indicates they might have perished of gum disease.
So maybe they died out for lack of flossing?
Wow.....food still stuck on the teeth after 40,000 years.....no wonder the dental hygienist about yanks my teeth out when she’s cleaning them.
I sort of figured they ate something besides homo sapiens.
guess they’ll have to rename “Caveman (Primal) diet.”
Had this been AGW caliber research, the article would have concluded that the starches killed the Neanderthals.
The Neanderthal government provided free contraceptives. They died out for lack of offspring.
What a ridiculous postulate!
They were a deeply religious people, as evidenced by the many ritualistic elements they left behind.
They all converted to Shakerism, abstained from sexual relations, and died out for lack of offspring.
The only reasonable explanation for a people that survived approximately 200,000 years or more to have gone extinct after cromagnon showed up is that the Cromags killed them off, some interbreeding some slaughter, it is the Homo Sapien way.
Neanderthals were killed off in a neolithic world war which probably lasted several generations, but not thousands or tens of thousands of years. Neanderthals were Europe's apex predator; the main body of them in Europe ate a diet which was over 90% meat including themselves and any other hominids or humans they could catch. Their DNA was roughly halfway between ours and that of a modern ape, their skulls were those of apes with huge eyes for nocturnal hunting, they had the same 6" fur coat as every other ice age animal which is why no needles have ever been found with Neanderthal remains, and this is what they looked like:

No living human is related to Neanderthals in any way and the reason for that should be fairly obvious...
There is no evidence that Neanderthals had fur or looked as the picture you posted looks. In fact they stood upright, made tools and lived hundreds of thousands of years before dying out. They have been classified as human, with Human DNA, slightly different than ours. If they were furred that would be evident in their remains. It isn’t. There are Humans on this planet now that share some Neanderthal DNA. I am sure there would have been no mating between them if they looked like the ape you have posted.
It pays to keep up:
Thanks Theoria!
