[QUOTE]Neanderthals and Denisovans may have supplied modern humans with genetic variants that let them thrive in new environments.[/QUOTE]
How exactly did Neanderthals die out? Was it mostly ancient homo sapiens killing them or a mixture of that and an inability to adapt to climate change?

My very uneducated guess would be that Homo-Sapiens were just way more numerous and the other races in the end was phased out by assimilation.
Interbreeding with humans and the diseases we carried.

I think it was because of the climate change along with because the Neanderthals simply were not advanced enough or connected with each other like homo sapiens were. They were very isolated I'd imagine which would be a big contributor to their extinction. It's from what I've read though and learned in the past.

we don't really know, there are a lot of different ideas but shit happened so long ago that it is mostly speculation
I might be wrong but statistically dont people of 100% white ancestral background or asian background have heaps of Neanderthal Genes within them?
So what if european people are really the descendants of Neanderthals? but due to more homo sapiensaround the traits of nethanderthals where slowly fad
Edit: yeah nat geo backs up what im saying, "A team of scientists comparing the full genomes of the two species concluded that most Europeans and Asians have between 1 to 4 percent Neanderthal DNA"

I remember seeing a documentary that said the reason they died off was there inability to form large social circles with other villages/Tribes which meant a lot of them died off during the ice age or something like that.
Had to do with them running out of food and not getting any help.
