Right? Prion diseases may have been a factor, but it's not the entire story. Kambiz Amiya, from what I can tell, you’re saying one event did not cause Neandertal extinction. Right?

They may be an effect of evolution instead. Many species have become extinct over the years. Not all suffered prion disease. However, cannibalism does increase the chance of contracting spongiform encephalopathies. Should extinction necessarily entail a prion disease or an asteroid colliding with earth?
