I have always felt that they were absorbed into sapiens. It is really the only thing that makes sense... most scientist just try to avoid making declarative statements because of the whole "caveman" stigma that still exists.
The fact is that their brains were larger than ours and the areas for higher functions were proportional (that they were not is an urban myth).
