PBS NOVA Becoming Human: Last Human Standing

In this documentary, it talks about the how we(Homo Sapians), were the last ones standing. A couple of interesting facts i got from the documentary were:
  1. The Neanderthals dissapered/died out after the ice age.
  2. Some places were early humans were found were Africa, Asia, Australia, and Europe!
  3. At that time, when "we" arrived to Australia, the animals wayed over 100 POUNDS!!!! But after a few thousand years after we arrived, they disappeared.
Some Questions I had were:
  1. Why did Neanderthals die out?
  2. Weren't they use to the cold weather?
  3. Did homo Sapiens interbred with Neanderthals?
Conclusion:
Most of my questions were answered by my group, but i still didn't understand if Neanderthals interbred with Homo Sapiens. If you have an answer, leave the comment bellow. If you dont know, then, just look at the comments if there is any!
