:I'm not sure that I follow this point, but one answer is that they did survive. There is evidence of similarities with modern humans which suggests that modern humans are, in part, descended from Neanderthals. Also, one YEC idea is that their distinctive features were due to diet and conditions, not genetics, which would suggest that they were not a separate group that died out, but are humans, and humans are still here.

::I am aware this was and is considered as a possibility, but as far as I am aware the eveidence would not be aligned with this hypothesis. Despite the large number if Neanderthal remains that have been found, I seem to remember there have only ever been two examples of cross breeds, and there is no evidence that these individuals would have fertile, in the absence of quarter breeds.[[User:stevendavy]] 10:07, 21 Sep 2007 (EDT)
:There is an issue about the YEC diet claim, If we are to follow the YEC timeline then Humans lived in the same areas as Neanderthals at the same time so we would show a difference among all of the remains instead of a particular group. If it was based on diet and not genetics than how is what I posted above with mtDNA found in Neanderthal remains explained? Their physiology is much different than a human, not something that could come from diet (You do not get eyebrow ridges, or extra length of ribs from diet)--[[User:Tims|TimS]] 11:17, 15 May 2007 (EDT)
