We used to have hominid cousins living at the same time as modern humans like neanderthals and denisovans. I don't think there's a consensus answer on what wiped them out, ecological changes over the last ice age reducing the availability of resources that they couldn't adapt to maybe, or prehistoric wars maybe and only the most vicious and violent hominid group survived, or some combination of changes and fighting and being absorbed by other dominant groups that they couldn't adapt to quickly enough.
