Modern archaeology is of the opinion that they were highly specialized and not very flexible. This is perhaps one of the main reasons for their disappearance. There are several discussions as to whether or not they were wiped out due to interbreeding with Homo Sapiens or they were extinguished by warfare. There are evidense linked to both theories, though most finds is more supportive of a competion for resources and that Homo Sapiens was better suited for that after the last ice age.It is also interesting that Homo Neandertalensis was far better flint nappers than Homo Sapiens, It seems as though Homo Sapiens learned advanced flint napping from Homo Neandertalensis and that they only in the late Paleolithic had better flint napping techniques. There are some dicussion as to wether the Homo Neandertalensis further developed their skills, but the finds are very questioned.</blockquote>
