If you can’t be with the one you love.....
Probably some did breed with the lesser humanoids but those offspring probably didn't survive...unless you count some of the folks here who, oh never mind.

Barack Obama and my sister-in-law are living proof that neanderthals and humans did the wild thing.
That is not being “wiped out”.
They contributed their bigger brain case to humans, giving us the gift of enhanced intelligence.
In a way we are the Neanderthals’ beneficiaries.
They were kinda the cool foreign guy then? Or something?
Neanderthals may have been wiped out due to INTERBREEDING with Dumb Blondes
there fixed it
Haven’t we all worked for bosses that we thought were Neanderthals?
I know the Democrats must be relieved!
Oh, for crying out loud.
I am so tired of this.
Neanderthals had a larger brain than modern man. I recall reading an article in “Encyclopedia Britannica” many years ago which stated that the size of the head actually had a strong positive correlation to intelligence.
To narrow it down a bit, I think it said the size of the head in relation to the size of the rest of the body. I don’t think they are allowed to say that any more.
A completely politically incorrect question. Will interbreeding be the end of Americans.
There’s hope for the Middle East after all...
I’m not convinced that a larger brain correlates with intelligence...at least in primates.
Even if Neanderthals had larger brains than we do I think we are smarter. And then there is the fact that men have larger brains than women, but I really don’t think men are smarter than women...they are often times more driven and obsessive, but not smarter.
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]

That is true, and I don’t believe to sound racist but I believe white people via diversity and friendship like the Neanderthals will become extinct if we are not demised sooner.
It is in liberal thinking.
