It probably wasn't that deliberate or planned

"Wiping out" one's contemporary hominid competitors was probably more a simple matter of homo sapiens using their superior quickness and intelligence - these crucial evolutionary advantages - to obtain, control, steal, defend, etc. the scarce food available during very tough times. The homo sapiens village would survive but the nearby Neanderthal village would starve, for example.
