* At least three volcanic eruptions 40,000 years ago devastated Neanderthals' homelands.
* Geographic good luck may have allowed Homo sapiens to move into Neandertals' former haunts.
Interesting hypothesis. However, since the Iberian Peninsula harbored Neanderthals until 25,000 to 30,000 years ago, the idea of a volcano in Italy wiping them out from southern Europe 40,000 years ago doesn't seem to hold.
