Answer:

modern humans (Homo sapiens) replaced all Neanderthal populations in Europe anatomically and genetically.

Step-by-step explanation:

Between 45,000–35,000 years ago, modern humans (Homo sapiens) replaced all Neanderthal populations in Europe anatomically and genetically. This is evident in the transfer and combination of technology and culture.

Other hominin species in Africa, such as Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and Homo heidelbergensis, gradually disappeared, possibly due to competition with Homo sapiens. Neanderthals coexisted with early Homo sapiens in Europe, but eventually went extinct, possibly due to factors like competition and interbreeding.
Hope it helps :)
