  1. There simply weren't that many Neanderthals, and they got absorbed into the more numerous Homo sapiens population.

  2. To put it in fantasy terms, Neanderthals are the dwarfs, and we're the elves.

  3.  @eldavid8774  They didn't have the concept of "species" yet. What evidence we have of interactions between the groups indicates they recognized each other as human. When early modern humans first came out of Africa and met Neanderthals, it would've probably been about the same as when two different African tribes or two different Neanderthal tribes met each other. Seeing as Neanderthals had also encountered Denisovans and possibly other types of humans we don't know about yet, this wouldn't even have been that new to them.
