The Sudden and Mysterious Replacement of Neanderthals by Modern Humans

Neanderthals Completely Disappeared Just 3,000 Years After Their Population Peaked around 45,000 years ago. It seems that Neanderthals and modern humans overlapped on and off for as much as 10,000 years in Western Europe, but in the last 2,000 years Neanderthal population dropped rapidly. The nature of the replacement of Neanderthal by anatomically and behaviorally modern populations in Europe is currently a topic of lively debate in human evolution. Neanderthals appeared approximately 400,000 years ago. With significant intellectual weight, they quickly colonized the entire continent, peaking around 45,000 years ago. Then, at the pinnacle of their power, they vanished, seemingly out of nowhere. Although this has been known for some time, a new review research published in the journal Quaternary International reveals how quickly they became extinct.
