Ever wonder why sapiens is the only species of the genus homo? It's because we killed all the rest of them.


That's actually a very complicated question, and not one that can be answered as "genocide". There is increasing evidence that Homo Neanderthalensis COEXISTED with Cro-magnon(early Homo Sapiens) for over 100,000 years, and they had a significant advantage in the cold climate at the end of the last ice age, However, our larger brains and better adaptation to the new climate probably saw them off without invoking genocide.

But in fact, if you look at some of my neighbours, Homo Neanderthalensis is alive and well.
