With their large brains, sturdy physique, sophisticated tools, and hunting skills, Neanderthals are the closest known relatives to humans. Approximately 200,000 years ago, as modern humans began to radiate out from their evolutionary birthplace in Africa, Neanderthals were already thriving in Europe–descendants of a much earlier migration of the African genus Homo. But when modern humans eventually made their way to Europe 45,000 years ago, Neanderthals suddenly vanished. Ever since the first Neanderthal bones were identified in 1856, scientists have been vexed by the question, why did modern humans survive while their evolutionary cousins went extinct?
The Invaders musters compelling evidence to show that the major factor in the Neanderthals’ demise was direct competition with newly arriving humans. Drawing on insights from the field of invasion biology, which predicts that the species ecologically closest to the invasive predator will face the greatest competition, Pat Shipman traces the devastating impact of a growing human population: reduction of Neanderthals’ geographic range, isolation into small groups, and loss of genetic diversity.
But modern humans were not the only invaders who competed with Neanderthals for big game. Shipman reveals fascinating confirmation of humans’ partnership with the first domesticated wolf-dogs soon after Neanderthals first began to disappear. This alliance between two predator species, she hypothesizes, made possible an unprecedented degree of success in hunting large Ice Age mammals–a distinct and ultimately decisive advantage for humans over Neanderthals at a time when climate change made both groups vulnerable.

“Educational”; really? What’s the term for such phony writers? Snake oil Salesmen, or Saleswomen, or Sales-its, or Sales-they if you prefer?

Marodiluce, why is this idea so hard for you to accept? PLEASE do not tell me you are one of those young Earthers, and think the Earths only like 9000 years old. The ideas presented in this book are based on actual science. Fossils have been found all over Europe to support this! Of course we can never know for sure exactly how things went, but based on the information avaliable we are able to make very sound and reasonable assumptions on how things probably were. That’s how science works, especially history. I am curious to know why you feel so strongly that this idea is a farce? It seems that you are comparing this author with a Christian preacher selling miricales?? There is actual hard science to support these theories, and are in fact the basic idea of what happened in out ancient past.

Please don’t waste time arguing with Creationists. Especially ones who just spout vaguely homophobic slurs.

This should be changed to Fiction

Was my first thought as well, but it’s written by an anthro prof, so I guess it’s worth a read. Or listen.

The book is published by Harvard University Press:
http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674975415
I don’t think they make a habit of publishing fantasy novels.
If you want fiction about Neanderthals, try The Neanderthal Parallax, by Robert Sawyer:

Those Trump supporters were racist xenophobes back even then!!!
Poor Neanderthals, we could have been friends…
