A 24,500 year old 'hybrid' Neanderthal skeleton was found in Portugal. Doesn't that find rfute this theory?
See article here.
"The evidence for the interbreeding theory come from the discovery of the 24,500-year-old skeleton of a 4-year-old individual in Portugal.19 "
A reconstruction of the 'hybrid' skeleton mentioned in post #3.
Not guilty!
How could this happen without the burning of fossil fuels?
Hey that looks like my sister.
That just proves that Portuguese women have always been easy.
It’s Ron Weasley!
“...so that modern humans had no interest in continuing their expansion to the south”
They must have had a meeting and decided to not expand to the South, whereas the the Neanderthal were not very good at meetings.

Get out! That can’t be his real name!
It was my people, haplogroup R1b (The Cro-Magnons), who rousted (or mated with) the Neanderthals out of Iberia. This is our 60,000 year migration map.
Ice Age Refuges
The Last Glacial Maximum(LGM), 23-18,000 years ago, one of the coldest periods during the whole Ice Age, chased everyone south. BTW, the people who would become the Vikings (R1a) were over in the red zone.
The Neandertal EnigmaFrayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

You mean they ran out of beer, wine and liquor. No wonder they died out—probably mass suicides.
