What Caused The Extinction Of The Neanderthals? | The Neanderthal in Us

There is no Neanderthal in us. Our DNA is different and chiseled in stone. Neanderthals were killed off or atarved out by Homo Sapiens

I'll solve the mystery for the win... Sterility, is the likely culprit. Once cross breeding begins the offspring were sterile. Along with the imbalance of population, is what led to a quickened extinction for neanderthal...too easy, you're welcome.

The whole classification system is screwed until standards are established for each. There isn't even a representative specimen of Homo Sapiens and will never be. Any candidate has to be examined by the man who named the taxa and he is dead.

The flood because it was the Nephilim…

Neanderthals became extinct for the same reason that the megafauna of Australia became extinct at the same time, which is, increasing surface gravity there about 45,000 to 30,000 thousand years ago. Both regions were in close longitudinal proximity.
Surface gravity in that longitudinal region had been lowered during certain glacial periods in the Quaternary and increased in the corresponding glacial to interglacial periods.
Being able to survive for several hundred thousand years in a cold climate indicates they were innovative and resourceful and those characteristics were passed down to those of us who have up to 5% of their DNA.
Neanderthals, like mammoths and other megafauna, evolved in a lower surface gravity environment as explained in my theory ‘The Gravity Theory of Mass Extinction’, which deals primarily with dinosaurs but applies to the recent Ice Age as well as I explain in one of my books ‘Ice Age Extinctions, A New Theory.’ A gravitational gradient around the globe occurs when large surface mass on the Earth moves to high latitude and therefore closer to the Earth’s spin axis. It moved the Earth’s core elements off-center based on the Law Of Conservation Of Angular Momentum. In this case the large surface mass was ocean water that moved to the polar region during the Quaternary period.
Unlike the megafauna and humans of Africa that experienced the same lower surface gravity as the Neanderthals, Neanderthals were more affected when surface gravity increased because surviving in a colder climate with increasing surface gravity requires obtaining a lot more food than that required in a tropical/subtropical environment putting a lot of stress on Neanderthals and Eurasian megafauna causing their extinction. This is why elephants, ancient Africans and other African megafauna survived but mammoths and other northern megafauna did not. It also explains why today many of African heritage are physically larger than most other modern humans. Their ancestors grew larger in the lower surface gravity as did the Neanderthals but survived because the warm climate helped them in obtaining food, both animal and vegetation, year round by not having to deal with the seasonality issue that the Neanderthals had to deal with in the frigid north with increasing surface gravity approximately 50,000 to 30,000 years ago in the Eurasian longitudinal region .
No, it was not competition with Homo sapiens that caused their extinction, it was increasing surface gravity on part of the globe.

Likely it was adopting Democrat policies that wiped them out.

Sub Saharan Africans don't have Neanderthal DNA......

They did not have better weapons. We did.

❤👋🇦🇺 👩‍🦳 thank you so much ❤

If our recent and/or current historical conflicts are any indications of how we handle physicals and spiritual differences I would assume current humans exterminated the Neanderthals.

Inbreeding will result in the extinction of any species while cross-breeding will increase a pool of stronger genes in all fields of endeavour found in the tiniest cell of 'a spermatocyte' resulting into two types 'wild or tame' human.

I don’t think that Neanderthal and Homo sapiens would been able to differentiate between them as different species, they probably thought that they were just probably different cultural groups with different physical characteristics and language.

Uh, I dont know about you guys below who are willing to accept Neanderthals as part of your ancestry. I just hope you never inherited.their grotesque physical features like their forward jaws, narrow foreheads, thick hirsute skins, etc. cuz you'd be a serious challenge even to a skilled tailor and cosmetician and cosmetic surgeon. I belong to one of the distinct races set up by modern anthropology as Caucasian (white), African (black), American Indian(red), Mongolian(yellow), and Malayan (brown).All sprung up in close proximity to each other in point of time but geographically separated. This reduces the Adam and Eve biblical story as belonging to childrens' books in the nature of myths, legends and faiyrtales

I wish we could have talked to them. And I believe that they would have been as interesting and intelligent as me . They probably would still be around. But I have noticed not much can survive modern humans. The things that we have been the primary reasons for this mass extinction that will be worse than everything that has come before. Because they will probably never be enough time left for our planet to evolve intelligence in a different species that will ask what is that. How did that get there. What happened to everything our moment in time will be less than the people who this video is talking about. That's all I have to say.

Just wondering are the naeanderthals behind the mystical troll type beings?🤔

Faster reaction times,better vision? Like a cat or dog( different brain)

Ur mom farTed, and then made the baby(s) with a neanderTal

they are NOT two different species. Neanderthals did NOT go extinct. They are the same species as us, they were just adapted to a different climate/environment and as the climate warmed and the environment changed the species changed to survive and thrive in it.

False premise:
We're not extinct.

Neanderthals- pronounced Neander-Tall

In the Olympics, they would win most of the gold medals.

I don't think that's accurate. I don't think they would do well in distance running events.

Neanderthals still fighting in Ukraine and Russia.

I think Neanderthals lived in peace for 400,000 until Modern man came along. Modern men were the savages and probably hunted and ate Neanderthals and raped their women and children. Some live long enough to bear young half modern men. Reason we have some DNA. Modern man probably saw them as a threat similar to the way people today see everything as a threat. We are still savages.

Too many errors here right at start.

So there is in fact a genetic difference between whites and blacks

They mixed with other humans and some moved to Bulgaria and other European countries and possibly south American continent. We are made of every human before us. Modern humans are the prehistoric in modern life. Our creator created a mix of all life at once when our earth was ready for life. We are what's left over from natural events. Evolution to me is life proceeding in all means necessary. Not mutations 😅. Birds with birds bees with bees and so on. Eating protein needs fat too or you stay hungry weak and skinny. Fats from fruits and nuts had to be extremely important especially in cold climate. Meats yes but more for clothing etc.

Neanderthals made love------not war.

They were destroyed in the flood. They are the antediluvian race . They lived hundreds of years, that’s why their bone structure is so robust. The human brow ridge doesn’t stop growing until death. Their brow ridge is indicative to a race of people who could live close to a thousand years. The world is not millions of years old. The dinosaurs were also wiped out in the flood.

ROFLMAO! Outdates info, disinformation

Arrows wiped them out lol...

Neanderthal brains were different…a recent study using computational neuroscience and multiple CT scans of the skulls of Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis vs. Homo Sapiens Sapiens from about the same time and their parietal lobes and cerebellum were smaller and less sophisticated after gene comparisons…same with white matter network gene comparisons for the rich club forming the Default Mode Network…Neanderthals had a smaller DMN which effects the ability to imagine and create. They had one but it wasn’t as developed according to the CNSM (computational neuroscience model). The difficulty with change comes from frontal lobes not being wired in the medial aspect the way ours are. We can falsify our own beliefs and try new ways of behaving. Phylogenetically modern humans have an easier time. People with brain injury struggle with changes and with adapting their behavior to new circumstances. I’m a neuroscientist and work with people with traumatic brain injury. Studying our ancestors helps neuroscientists better understand cognitive neuropsychology and neurological development. Fascinating videos here…

Rather redundant this one.

They will bring them back, like mastodon, megalodon etc....the university programmed know it all will bring them back...,all with our tax dollars probably

they elected trump!

Ancient Greeks identified a behavioral trait in us humans and they gave it a name: pleonexia. Translated to English it means incontrollable greed and desire to control others. We see it still today in people like Gates, Bezos and Zuckerberg. That being said, I suspect we killed off the Neanderthals.

Nian is a human being similar to an ape who turned into an incomplete human being who ended because he was not a match for the dominant homo with his mind, his weapon, his desire to conquer, and his genes that are dominant, apparent, and controlling.

Because we are an invasive species.

Why dinosour fossils survived millions of yeara and only 16 bones for neanderthals? Give me a break

400,000 thousand years of evolution and no bow and arrow or throwing stick,only a wooden spear with a crudly chipped stone.the inbreeding was a major problem

They were raped and hunted by our ancestors.

"We just need to crspr the language gene into chimps"

There is a difference between can't and won't.

I have heard that those maga are descendants of the Neanderthals so they are still here.

Neanderthals and evolution are Satan's lies to counter the truth of God's creation, people did not live hundreds of thousands of years ago because the earth is only 6000 years old and God CREATED Adam and Eve with the exact same looks, DNA and intelligence that we have today and they reproduced and people covered the world. This fallen World is our TEMPORARY HOME separated from God for a short time because of sin. Our eternal salvation is what matters. THE GOSPEL, THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR --

Jesus Christ came down here from heaven, God on earth, to be born one of us His own creation, and He lived on earth with us for over three decades, and He taught us about God and His eternal heavenly kingdom and repentance and how to live righteously and He lived a perfect sinless life. Then He gave His sinless life to ALL people from ALL nations to pay for our sins for us, by dying on the cross and resurrecting from the dead three days later, to take the punishment for our sins for us so that justice was served, to defeat eternal death for us to reconcile us sinners with God to give us eternal life with Him, and after He resurrected from the dead to defeat death for us, He lived on earth for forty more days, speaking to many people, then He ascended back up into heaven, and He is coming back again at the end of this world age to set up His eternal heavenly kingdom, for all people who believe this and repent of their sins and accept Jesus as their Savior and have been spiritually born again, to live in for the rest of eternity, forgiven of their sins and reconciled with God.

Read the entire Holy Bible for yourself and the entire Gospel of Jesus Christ for yourself in the Holy Bible in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Being that everyone with European and Asian ancestry has Neanderthal DNA, it looks like they intermixed with other humans

What a great documentary, when you got german scientists you know its a legit

"The Neanderthals were the only human beings we shared the earth with for couple of hundred thousand years" - well, this video hasn't aged well!

they merged in to us, is that the same as going extinct?

when a neanderthal and a so called modern human mixed, why do they say the neanderthals went extinct instead of the 'modern' human? same ole ai beating a dead horse

Some information is outdated. For example, there have been more species discovered now of wich we share our DNA and we intermingled with in Europe, Asia and Africa.
