Why the Neanderthal went extinct-latest theory: For the 1 or 2 people who give a chit-lol.

Neanderthal was an ambush hunter. He did not throw his spear he thrust it into the animal.

50,000 years ago or so europe started changing from a forest to grasslands. Homo sapien was used to hunting on open range and used a spear thrower, so he could kill well at a distance and homo could run well. So killing animals on the open plain was easy and maybe neanderthal as they did not need to get close and could outrun neanderthal.

Neanderthal were very strong but only about 5'4 with short legs. That body style perserves heat and is a similiar body as eskimos have.It seems their intelligence was equal to or better than our own.

I wonder what the pope's opinion on Neandrthal is-lol?
