    Neanderthals could not have been eaten out of existence by humans: they couldn't have been fat (ie, energy-rich) enough to warrant the excessive and dangerous effort it would take to kill them.

    I'll buy that some humans preyed on our cousins for food in desperate times; privative humans do that to themselves in recent history. But human brains, human tribalism, and the end of the last ice age are the more likely cause of Neanderthal extinction.
