European Neanderthals were dying off and already on the verge of extinction even before the arrival of competing modern humans, Swedish researchers say.

Scientists said a study of ancient DNA indicates most Neanderthals in Europe died off as early as 50,000 years ago, leaving only a small group that re-colonized central and western Europe and survived for another 10,000 years before modern humans arrived on the scene.
