Nothing. No one is sure what they died of. Could be climate change, or competition from Cro-Magnon man (modern humans).
One of the main cause for the extinction of species is hunting. Some causes like climatic changes may also lead to the extinction in species. Extinction of Neanderthals is one good example of climatic changes. At that age in Europe the temperature dropped down and it was impossible to survive over there for the Neanderthals and therefore, the Neanderthals died making them one of the extinct species today.
There is no concept called a "state of depression" in paleontology, so, No.
Neanderthals first appeared around 400,000 years ago and went extinct about 40,000 years ago, so they lived on Earth for approximately 360,000 years.
Some theories suggest that Neanderthals interbred with anatomically modern humans, leading to their disappearance through genetic assimilation. Others propose that environmental factors, competition for resources, or even direct conflict with modern humans contributed to their extinction. It is likely that a combination of these factors, rather than a single cause, led to the disappearance of Neanderthals.
um... we did! Yay us!If you mean neanderthals (homo sapiens neanderthalensis) there are many theories to why they lost to us.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthal#Extinction
Early humans in Europe primarily included Neanderthals and anatomically modern Homo sapiens. Neanderthals inhabited the region from around 400,000 to 40,000 years ago, adapting to various climates and environments. Homo sapiens arrived in Europe approximately 45,000 years ago, eventually coexisting with Neanderthals before their extinction. Both groups contributed to the genetic and cultural heritage of modern Europeans.
Humans can learn the importance of adaptability in the face of environmental challenges, the impact of mass extinction events on ecosystems, and the fragility of life on Earth. Studying the extinction of dinosaurs can also highlight the significance of conservation efforts to prevent future extinctions.
No not really, neanderthals were all about surival.
Neanderthals
Neanderthals went extinct around 40,000 years ago. There are various theories for their extinction, including climate change, competition with modern humans, or a combination of factors. Some scientists believe that Neanderthals interbred with early modern humans, contributing to their genetic legacy in some human populations today.
There is no single agreed-upon reason for the extinction of Neanderthals. Some possible contributing factors include competition with modern humans for resources, changes in climate, and possible interbreeding with modern humans leading to assimilation of Neanderthal genes into the modern human population.
If neanderthals were real? With water, or dirt.
