Neanderthals went extinct during the Heinrich H5 event (a thousands of years long shift from cold conditions to even colder conditions) There were extinctions of a number of large mammals during this general time. The most plausible theory we have for the extinction of Neanderthals is climate change. In regards to Neanderthals there was a relatively long period of co-habitation (as showed by the interbreeding), there is some evidence of small-scale territorial skirmishes but no out and out war between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals. Just wanted to elaborate on David Alexander's answer because I love this part of history! Who's to say which way/direction early homo wandered? Then the migration direction would be the opposite of the current guesswork direction. Migration is just one response to these needs.īy the way, have you ever wondered if the migration maps are backwards? Assume the original homo line developed in Malaysia. Any one of these would encourage a clever primate to find any or all of these three. There are only three truly important things in the life of a primate: food, clothing, shelter. Look at the success of modern men who are deaf but communicate easily with sign. Spoken 'language' was often counterproductive as it allowed others (predators) to hear you. As these primates evolved, they used their increased motor skills and memory to create sign language. (Indeed, look at modern homo's use of body language). I believe early primates easily used body language as a start (look at modern primate studies showing complicated body language within species). Our ancestors did know how to communicate with each other. Beyond that, the nature of neanderthal-homo sapiens interaction is still unclear. That indicates that there was at least some inbreeding between neanderthals and homo sapiens, which suggests intimate relationships between the two groups. This is evidenced by the presence of Neanderthal DNA in the genome of people of European, Middle Eastern, and Asian descent. However, we do know that Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens interacted. Humans today don't trade with chimpanzees or gorillas largely because of this extremely steep communication barrier. Similar, it would be difficult for different hominid species to communicate with eachother, so it's unlikely that they would have cooperated with us. So any conflict between hominids would be rare. Active hunting is rare, and hunting other predators is extremely rare. Most hominids have a diet largely based on vegetables and scavenging. There is very limited information on interaction between hominid species. However, I assume that you're talking about prehistoric hominids, and the answer to that is that we don't know. Since Chimpanzees are technically hominids, and have been targeted by human hunters, hominids still hunt each other.
