Perhaps this is evidence of a genocide? I have always found it a bit suspicious that our Neanderthal cousins disappeared at about the same time as us Africans turned up,

I think most anthropologists are notably silent on this point. Since there's no evidence either way, it's all speculation. It's probably fair to assume that both species did interact in <i>some</i> way. But no one really knows how it went.
