   You fight wars with weapons not penises.   
      
   Neanderthals were bred out of existence, just as the pure Hss   
   were. Toba and other volcanoes push them to the very edge   
   of existence and they were genetically swamped.

   Toba was the largest event in human history and would have cooled the   
   planet, and the northern hemisphere in particular, for a ridiculously long   
   time. For comparison:  The Younger Dryas event cooled the planet for   
   over a thousand years, and ended Clovis Culture.

   I just said that. What reached Europe was a new population of hybrids.

   Lots of interbreeding happened. Neanderthals, Denisovans...

   Neanderthals were humans, as are their descendants. It wasn't disease that   
   wiped them out, it was their own penises. Toba and other events brought them   
   to the verge of extinction, and interbreeding swamped them.
