    Wasn’t it mostly disregarded by now? There were no evidence for any major struggle or any other major extinction event for Neanderthals at the time, quite the contrary modern humans that came from where Neanderthals lived have their DNA. So we basically just fucked and whatever more sustainable of both our genes survived. It’s not like one species died out, and the other lived, they both are gone, some of us emerged from that.
