History with Kayleigh | Why Neanderthals Disappeared @HistoryWithKayleigh | Uploaded March 2022 | Updated October 2024, 37 minutes ago.
One of the biggest mysteries surrounding the ancient world is the disappearance of the Neanderthals around 35,000 years ago.
Up until their disappearance they were at the height of the food chain, they were intelligent and most likely taught us modern humans at least a thing or two.
But the question remains, why did they go extinct? What made them disappear? Or are they still living among us? Maybe they never went extinct but just became part of us Homo sapiens through extensive interbreeding?
