The Last Neanderthal
Approximately 20,000 years ago, during the last great Ice Age, Neanderthals were on the verge of extinction. Like most branch families of hominids, a combination of factors wiped them out over the next 1,000 years. Competition for food has always been a factor in the struggle for survival, but culture and the technological advances of Modern Man contributed to the destruction of whole populations of various hominids from the family of man.
