Not a lot of evidence if infighting between Hominins species.

They likely died from disease introduction. And they were basically out the evolutionary door at first contact with H. Sapiens.

And being killed. There's only about 2% of Neanderthal dna in the world, with the highest percentage [around 4%] being in Asia. My wife has 2%, I have 0%, which explains why she persecutes me. ;)

Nah, she's a saint who doesn't mind acting unsaintly at times. :)

On the other hand, mammoth farms could really cut down on meat shortages. But I'm sure the animal rights people would get all weepy over that idea.

But Neanderthals and H Sapiens, sapiens bred. That's why some of us are still 5% Neanderthal. So not so much dying as being incorporated. But the original question about hunting ice age mammals to extinction is quite proven by evidence. So our ancestors were just as proficient at destroying species as we are. Nothing changes in the hominid department other than more cleaver ways of ruling the animals and destroying ourselves in the process.
