The Earth’s forests were much more dense when Neanderthals were around, making it easier to capture prey and hide. They couldn’t compete with Homo sapiens who were much more lithe and mobile in build. Neanderthals also practiced infanticide on a regular basis seeing babies as another burden.

Humans, in many cultures, practiced infanticide, and that is well documented, unlike the case for the Neanderthals, unless you interviewed some of them

No, they didn’t. They are the ancestors of most living people, as a matter of fact. Stop talking out of your ass.
