I don’t think we ate them up, I think the lack of game caused by our ancestors, who had better weapons, caused them to eat each other into extinction. You will notice the tools found at the site were neanderthal, not Cro Magnon. When Homo Sapiens Sapiens made food scarce in one area they moved on, causing Neanderthals to resort to the only food left to them. They couldn’t compete with Cro Magnon and resorted to eating their own or face starvation.

Cro Magnon did not get to Europe for another 15k years, so that had to be Neanderthals who did the deed back then; but later on, there IS evidence that the Cro Magnons et em.

Just think: what large animal would be easier to hunt than the Neanders?
