Didn't neanderthals have greater cranial capacity?

The Toba eruption destroyed them.

We had enough sense to discovery to take risks. Neanderthals did make boats and stuff but only went when they could see the other side. It was us who decided to just go on in a seemingly endless ocean with zero certainty to make shit happen.

Yes, that's why their DNA was different.

Cro-Magnons essentially fucked them extinct, or something like that.

We were mating with them bro. Theyve found bones containing dna from both species.

The Neanderthal extinction happened several thousand years after the Toba eruption. There was another eruption around the time of the extinction, but there's not really enough evidence to conclude that it was the cause

Toba took us down to 3-10 thousand people. They traced back a major genetic bottleneck to that time and it all lines up.

It all lines up except that evidence of Neanderthal habitation exists for another 30,000 years after the Toba eruption
