There's not been much of a doubt in my mind that this is exactly what happened. Richard Alexander, emeritus anthro prof at UMich has said that other humans were man's greatest environmental challenge. I believe he is right.

This illustrates his point in that when H. sapiens were hunting meat on the tundra, who was the easiest to catch and kill?

Ah, tundra, the only word from my mother's people (Skolt Sami) that has made it outside the tundra region in far northwestern Europe.

"Skolt Sami (sääˊmǩiõll) is a Finno-Ugric, Sami language spoken by approximately 400 speakers in Finland, mainly in Sevettijärvi, and approximately 20–30 speakers of the Njuõˊttjäuˊrr (Notozero) dialect in an area surrounding Lake Lovozero in Russia."

So, what does that have to do with Neanderthals, you say. I don't know...I just don't think I'll have a better opportunity to pass that information on than now.

BTW, I'm also keeping my eyes open for casino opportunities in Finland, half of me is a persecuted minority.
