The Neanderthal Paradox | Why the Others Vanished

Why did the Neanderthals disappear… and what does their silence reveal about us? This longform Sleepless Homo documentary traces the final forty thousand years of Neanderthal history - from shrinking forests and harshening climates, to encounters with Homo sapiens, volcanic winters, collapsing refugia, and the archaeological silence that followed. Told with calm, firelight intimacy, this episode blends archaeology, paleoclimate science, genetics, and deep-time storytelling to explore the fragile boundary between survival and extinction. No drama. No superiority myths. Only what the evidence suggests, and the quiet realization that another humanity once walked beside us. What you’ll learn: • What the last Neanderthal days looked like • How extreme climate swings reshaped their homeland • Why small clan sizes and shrinking ranges mattered • How early encounters with Homo sapiens unfolded • What genetics tells us - and what it cannot • Why the Gravettians thrived as Neanderthals dwindled • How archaeologists identify disappearance through absence • What their silence leaves in our own story 🕯️ The story of humanity… told softly. ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐒: 00:00 - The Last Neanderthals 12:53 - How Neanderthal Bodies Shaped Their World 26:07 - When Climate Turned Their Home Against Them 38:29 - Why Neanderthal Technology Stayed the Same 50:04 - How Population Collapse Begins 1:00:49 - When Two Human Worlds Overlapped 1:12:49 - What Interbreeding Really Meant 1:23:58 - How Homo Sapiens Changed the Landscape 1:36:09 - The Survival Divide 1:47:16 - The Last Neanderthal Refugia 1:57:14 - The Ash Fall That Divided an Era 2:06:21 - A New Human Strategy Takes Over 2:15:46 - How We Know They Were Gone 2:25:14 - The Human Cost of Vanishing ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ 📌 Calm science, evolutionary psychology, no hype, no speculation - just what we know so far.
