Only very few of them survived and relating to Darwin’s theory of survival of the fittest only the best were able to survive. With the ice age coming to an end in Europe, there was a new species on the rise. This species migrated from Africa and had so happened to be the homo sapiens or in other terms humans. People had theories that humans hunted and killed every last one of the neanderthals but that was proven to be false as well. Homo sapiens outnumbered the neanderthals. It was a 10:1 ratio between homo sapiens and neanderthals. Another 10,000 years later the neanderthal population went extinct. Recent studies have shown that homo sapiens and neanderthals mated. Our species combined had an offspring that wasn’t infertile. Ice age southern Europe, was a hot bed of neanderthal and homosapien interbreeding. They were bed out genetically, swapping interaction and absorption which was a route to success of interbreeding with our population. Since neanderthals lived in harsh and brutal conditions their DNA provided them with certain adaptations to live in these harsh conditions. Their DNA provided us with the ability to have human leukocyte antigen (HLA) which is to regulate our immune systems making them stronger. Also, to fight off viruses and bacteria. In every person there is at least one percent DNA of the neanderthal species within them. It is more common to have a higher percentage of neanderthal DNA in
