Ancient Human | Neanderthal

Neanderthals, or Homo neanderthalensis are an extinct species or subspecies of archaic humans who lived in Eurasia until about 40,000 years ago.

The reasons for Neanderthal extinction are disputed, theories include demographic factors such as small population size and inbreeding; competitive replacement; interbreeding and assimilation with homo sapiens; climate change; disease; or a combination of these factors.
