They were replaced by Homo-Sapiens over time as the world gradually warmed up. Their bodies were not adaptable to the climate change. Some do believe that Homo-Sapiens and Neanderthals might have mated when they found a skeleton of a child that has feature of both kinds of humans, so it possible we may Neanderthal blood in us, at least those of European decedent.

No one knows for sure what happened to them. Some scientists say that their gene pool was diluted with other homo sapiens and that "neanderthal" man became something else. Other believe that they became extinct and were replaced by modern homo sapiens. The debunked theory of evolution would fit this in a nice niche and say they evolved into something else....perhaps a higher order of the human species. Truth is, no one knows......

Neanderthals didn't die out suddenly; they co-existed for thousands of years with the Cro-Magnon man who ultimately displaced them.

It was 'suddenly' in early man terms, ie it took about 50,000 years.
They couldn't compete for resources. Ie we got all the food first. We probably helped them on their way by killing them too.

They didn't. They didn't exist. "Evidence" that was "discovered" for neanderthals was later found to be erroneous. For example, one of the fossils that was found and named "Neanderthal Man" later turned out to be just the skeleton of an old man who was hunched over from arthritis.
