I have thought for many years that our species wiped them out where they found them. This new and more exact dating method adds credibility to this scenario.

Wiping out a related group is easy ~ show up with a new kind of headcold, maybe some TB, or possibly pneumonia.
You'll take over the cave without firing a shot.
Neanderthals appear to have lived in smaller groups than our own folks ~ which suggests they had a serious problem with infectious disease.

Neanderthals probably lived in the low rent district, demanded entitlements and called Early Humans ‘racist’ or something

Yeah, look at the history of violent contact between tribes of modern humans - and now contemplate the level of violence when there actually is a significant genetic difference between the groups.

Neantherdals are going to be needing some reparations, and interest owed over 39,000 years.
I am going to be needing my customary 30 percent cut.

When a Neanderthal moved next door the property values would decline and the other 'early humans' would often sell at below value. They tried desegregation in the 70s but even that didn't work.
Early humans? Is that like a morning person?

Frank and Jim found a dog turd and convinced the New York Times that neanderthals had Greyhound race tracks.
“The neanderthals kept betting on weiner dogs and got wiped out.”

I’m convinced that Neanderthals survived to modern times in the Middle East, possibly as a hybrid with apes.
