Is there any evidence that a hominid species has ever undergone a mass extinction during earth's evolution ? ?

Question

Elaborate ?

Answer 1

There is evidence for the great flood and the answer above, so, if their evidently has been two, then why not twenty two or a hundred and two?

Answer 2

The neandrethals died out. I think they were not the fittest for survival.

Answer 3

The closest we came was 74,000 years ago, when the explosion of the Sumatran Volcano covered the Indian sub-continent with 3 meters of ash, and triggered a 6-year Nuclear Winter. Estimates reveal that only 2,000 to 10,000 hominins of any kind survived that event!

Answer 4

Homo sapiens neanderthalensis, or Neanderthals, are believed to have been extinct by about 24,500 years ago. There are several theories on why this occurred:

1. Homo sapiens neanderthalensis was a separate species from Homo sapiens, and became extinct.

2. Homo sapiens neanderthalensis was a contemporary subspecies which incidentally bred with Homo sapiens and disappeared through absorption.

3. Homo sapiens neanderthalensis never split from Homo sapiens and most of their populations transformed into anatomically modern humans between 50-30 kya.

So, if theory 1 holds true, then that is an example of a hominid species that underwent mass extinction.
