Becoming Human: Last Human Standing

Have you ever wondered why all of our early ancestors and early humans in general have disappeared and we have not? This was quite a fascinating happening because it was proven that Neanderthals had an even bigger brain then our own. So how come that at the very end we were the ones that stayed and not them? It all comes down to one big thing. And that is the diet which we had. Even though the Neanderthals had bigger brains that our own, they didn't use the quality they could have used. In other words our brains were more complex and sophisticated  then theirs. As a fact to this they only ate meat and just meat nothing else, not even vegetables. So for killing there pray they used maybe two or three different types of weapons to kill their pray. After making the same type of technology over and over again your intelligence doesn't quite grow anymore, because your so used to it. After a couple of years we {Homo Sapiens} migrated to a place next to the water which made us change our whole daily routines and tasks. We also change the way we eat and hunt and made new equipment which would suit the place we are haunting at. As you can see only from this little thing like the change in food changed the whole evolution to other early humans. Thus making them vanish and making us the last human standing
