New research has shined some light onto the demise of the Neanderthals. A possible explanation is that the homeland of the Neanderthals, which was Europe and western Asia had three volcanoes that erupted about the same time that Neanderthals seem to start their decline into non-existence. 40,000 years ago these volcanoes would have had little impact on modern man since modern human lived in Africa and southwest Asia. No need to cry for the Neanderthals they still find employment with the GEICO ad campaigns. http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/63734/title/Neandertals_blasted_out_of_existence%2C_archaeologists_propose

I wouldn't mind being one of those GEICO Neanderthals. I bet you they're making a lot more money than I am. Where do I sign up?

Problem is GEICO is very sexist. I mean have you ever seen them use a cavelady in their commercials?

Which is bizarre really, considering women are the ones who actually need car insurance. Badum-tish.

Neandarthals has been vanished from earth surface a long ago . The cause for it is explained in many ways. Anyway i think we , human beings too will de wiped out from earth by the passage of time . It is inevitable for nature .
