It has always been an interesting topic of trying to under why we are the last human standing. The Neanderthals were an amazing opponent that has outlived us by more than double the amount of time we have been on Earth but they did have some flaws. Even though their brains were significantly larger than ours they still have been proven to have been stupider than us. They were very strong and they only hunted meat so if there was no meat they would die. They used very heavy spears so that they needed to get very close to their prey. Then they need to thrust it right into the heart and lung area. But that means that they need to get close and they can very easily be injured. Whereas Homo Sapiens used bone tipped spears so they could throw and kill from a distance. These are just a few examples of why we think Homo Sapiens wiped out the Neanderthals.
