Are you sure they are extinct? I've seen a few people that look a lot like them X_X

Oh great! That's just wonderful. Then I'm getting my rifle and going Spotted Owl hunting. After they're all dead, I just say, "Hashem had no need for that species so it was made extinct".

Humans did not hunt neanderthals... I fail to see your comparison.

Extinct is extinct - also, it is quite possible that modern humans did hunt Neanderthals. That modern Humans lead to the extinction of the Neanderthals, through our actions, is almost a certainty.
Incidentally, there is no clear morphological distinction between "modern humans" and Neanderthals. What one poster wrote in jest ("are they really extinct?") could be a serious question.

Probably humans both hunted and bred with Neanderthals. Just as they did with the bushmen in southern Africa (and higher up, which is how the Bantu gained malaria resistance which allowed them to migrate south). Also, cannibalism was/is widespread among humans still, most recently having saved the lines of many plane crash survivors in the Andes.
I also believe they are extinct for a reason... Hashem has no need for this species so it was made extinct...
Muman, I respect your knowledge and really do not wish to be provocative in saying this, but how can you be confident about how or why G-d behaved the way he did? I really am curious when there are so many aspects of Jewish history that are inexplicably horrifying.
