Homo sapiens rapidly killed off all the Neanderthals as they had superior fighting technology like the bow and arrow and spears O C. Neanderthals interbred with Homo sapiens and as a result assimilated with Homo sapiens O D. They were only living in Europe where they had genes allowing them to acclimate to that particular environment. OE. Neaderthals were the likely direct ancestors of the newly discovered pigmy island species of humans, H. floresiensis and H. luzonensis
