Science, being well known for settling things for all time...
Wait.
Science keeps on marching on and making your reference materials obsolete.
The latest theory running through anthropology is that Cro-magnon, neanderthal, and denisovans is that they aren't separate species, but simply different populations of humans.
Dog breeds show as much difference as the different homo-sapiens species.
If they were simply different populations of humans, then the neanderthals being "wiped out" is explained by two populations merging via breeding.
It's a neat theory and completely off limits in 1973 in my oldest book on neanderthals.
