Why did homosapiens , kill all Neanderthals people?

Question

Did God tell too?

Did God tell them too do it?

Answer 1

There are still plenty of Neanderthals around today. Most of them are in managerial positions.

Answer 2

It looks like Homo species didn't kill off the Neanderthals - in fact, there is evidence of hybridisation between the two species. The most likely scenario is that we simply out-competed them; with our more developed brain we were able to adapt to climactic change and the availability of new ecological niches while the Neanderthals weren't.

God wasn't involved - the extinction of the Neanderthal and the ecological radiation of Homo is a classic example of natural selection.

Answer 3

Personally, i don't believe in the existence of neanderthal man. The fossils that they are basing are not really full parts of a human bone. How can they tell that the shape of the skull is like that when the fossil of the "first neanderthal" is just a skull cap. The so-called "complete skeletons" of these neanderthals are just man-made. They made a skull out from a fossilized skull cap. And that skull cap could have been part of a skull of a disfigured homo sapien. After all, there is a lot of disfigured homo sapiens even now.

Answer 4

They didn't necessarily kill off the Neanderthals. The ice age was ending, and the Neanderthals were biologically adapted for cold climates. The "second wave" of human movement into Europe had more advanced tools and were more adaptable to changing environments.

Answer 5

Actually Neanderthals are Homo neanderthalensis not sapiens. There is a great article about them in Wikipedia which says this about their fate -

The fate of the Neanderthals

Main article: Neanderthal interaction with Cro-Magnons

The Neanderthals began to be displaced around 45,000 years ago by modern humans (Homo sapiens), as the Cro-Magnon people appeared in Europe. Despite this, populations of Neanderthals held on for thousands of years in regional pockets such as modern-day Croatia and the Iberian and Crimean peninsulas. The last known population lived around a cave system on the remote south facing coast of Gibraltar, from 30,000 to 24,000 years ago.

Neanderthal findings in Abrigo do Lagar Velho, Portugal of 24,500 BP, featuring admixtures with early modern humans, have been published.[28] However, the paleontological analysis of modern human emergence in Europe has been shifting from considerations of the Neanderthals to assessments of the biology and chronology of the earliest modern humans in western Eurasia. This focus, involving morphologically modern humans before 28,000 BP shows accumulating evidence that they present a variable mosaic of derived modern human, archaic human, and Neanderthal features.

Answer 6

Neanderthals simply lost the evolution race. They were just sucessful less often that the more intelligent homosapiens.

Answer 7

Who said they did? It is one theory, but there is no evidence that we directly killed them. We could have just interbred, or out-competed them!

A more pertinent question might be - why did god create several species of human and allow all but one to die out? Was this creation by trial an error?

Indeed there are lots of interesting theological questions. Did Neanderthals have souls? If not, why not - they were as human as we are. Did they go the heaven? etc etc

Answer 8

Neanderthals were homo sapien we are homo sapien sapien and we have no evidence that homo sapien sapien killed neanderthals but one could conclude that some were killed in dispuites. There is some evidence that they could interbreed in the form of a fossil that shows signs of mixed neanderthal and homo sapien sapien charactieristics
And of course "god" did not tell them to do anything because the is just a myth

Answer 9

You mean ' tell them TO do it' not TOO!!!!
Too is for saying too big, too small etc or as another word for also.
back to your question...
Homo sapiens neanderthalensis lived from 100,000 to 40,000 years ago and were similar in build to present-day people, but slightly smaller, stockier, and heavier-featured with a strong jaw and prominent brow ridges on a sloping forhead.They were a precursor of modern man who evolved different traits.

Answer 10

it wasnt neccessarily a case of one group simply killing another,........ but rather groups of hominids migrating from africa, to europe, and to asia, until finally populating the globe.
Homosapiens, neanderthals, cro magnons, and modern man are basically the end product, of the absorbation of all these groups over thousands and thousands of years, hence our different skin colours, eye colours, size and so on.
Their physical, and genetic differences, were as much dietry, and climatically influenced, as they were by passing epochs of time, so no,.......it wasnt neccessarily just a case of annhialation,......... but rather, different groups being absorbed into others,......... and hence dare i say it,...... evolution.
