Neanderthals were perfectly adapted to their environment, they had larger brains than we do and they created tools much more efficiently . They lived in family size bands only caring for themselves and their close relatives and their trading mostly involved the exchange of females .

Homo Sapient lived in larger tribes who had relations with others in a vast region , they shared their tools and technologies and created bonds through religion & art. Their (our) kids matured slowly in order to adjust into big social groups and those who could contribute more ( elder hunters) were responsible for more and more individuals (wives and kids) .

We are still around while Neanderthals are not .
