Uhhh....we had better weapons and they couldn't outrun us. AND we were smarter and could come up with better tactics. Just my opinion...I wasn't there.

They can act in movies or play baseball. Just ask Hawthore James, from Speed, Seven, plus other films and Johnny Damon.

There has long been speculation that Neanderthals were fully adapted to temperate latitude ice age Earth, even having a bony protrusion in their sinuses to help warm inhaled air. However, when the Earth warmed, these protrusions could very well have contributed to lethal chronic sinus infections.
Those who have had such infections, lasting six months or more, will testify as to their debilitating effects.
And just fleeing north would be no help, because there is a big difference between cold temperatures with a long growing season, in what are now the temperate latitudes, and the short growing seasons in the far north.
Periods of darkness lasted much longer back then, because there was far greater tilt to the Earth’s axis. Which explains why so few ice age creatures survived.

It’s a good thing our ancestors could run fast. If the Neos ever got their hands on them, they would be toast.

FYI> There never were any such creature as neanderthals, this is a fable , yes a myth, that the left wing neanderthals have created to deceive the mind of the foolish who refuse to open their minds to the fact that we were created by the Lord God of Israel.
The day will come when our descendants will mock such beliefs as this much as they mock those who believed the flat earth theory as true. And global warming and nanny state myths and fables will also be mocked.
Mark my words, men should stand on science and science destroys the theory of evolution, a fable of left wing secularists.

“We hypothesize that endurance running performance may have been reduced in Neanderthals because they lived in cold climates.”
Well what about all those that lived in the Middle East? Was it cold then? What about the sea level - hundreds of feet lower then today — where any living on the beach, so to speak?
hypothesis, spypothesis the learned types still haven’t a clue

Uhhh....we had better weapons and they couldn't outrun us. AND we were smarter and could come up with better tactics. Just my opinion...I wasn't there. They had a 10% bigger brain case than modern humans. Do not assume they were necessarily less smart.
If modern humans were faster and had more endurance, then Cro-Mags could hit a Neanderthal camp in a surprise raid, kill a few, and then run away. Then circle back and hit any pursuit after the Neanderthals were exhausted from the chase. Repeat until you run out of Neanderthals.
I've read in several places that early humans were built to be corsairial hunters, chasing prey until the prey dropped from exhaustion. This would allow us to keep up with a herd of prey, taking down the weaker members as they dropped or straggled.

"Humans would beat Neanderthals in Marathon."
Athenians did beat Persians in Marathon.
Which is not to say that the Persians were Neanderthals.

One of my favorite bits from The Cartoon History of the Universe (highly recommended, BTW) shows early humans hunting down other hominids as they say, "We're smart! We're handsome! And we haven't invented morality yet!"
