No evidence they were a different species than homo-sapiens.
Like southeast Asians appear different from western Europeans, they are the same species.

There’s a theory that we already had a prehistoric “idiocracy” that wiped out the neanderthals.

The theory says they were more intelligent, spiritual and monogamous creatures who were defeated by savage homo sapiens who kept breeding/consuming/fighting like monkeys.

The theory also says more advanced cultures/races have a higher percentage of neanderthal DNA.

Really, this is a stupid what-if debate. There’s only one way to tell—clone a few from bone DNA. If they feel lonely, clone some mammoths. If not... turn ‘em loose.

These same scientists cannot even tell you how intelligent you are, or your neighbor is.

Every time I hear or read the words “scientists say,” my skepticism peaks.

It depends on how one defines “intelligence”.I don't recall ever having seen evidence of a 747 in 12,000BC.

"...forced into extinction" or did they merely go "off planet"?

The main thing you have to remember, they ain’t here and we are.

Gives the academics something to Chase grants for, but in the end all the Neanderthals that ever lived are dead.

"their demise was clearly more complex than many archaeology-based scenarios of 'cognitive inferiority'"

They were doing just fine until they adopted a liberal-progressive government and forgot how to reproduce.
