No, although both evolved from the common ancestor Homo Heidelbergenis. Homo Sapiens did however interbreed with Neanderthal, consequentially, Caucasian and some Asian races of Homo Sapiens today have 2% Neanderthal DNA, making us a somewhat 'hybrid' species.
Neanderthals are an extinct species closely related to modern humans, Homo sapiens. Genetic evidence suggests that Neanderthals interbred with early modern humans, contributing to the genetic heritage of some modern populations. Despite this interbreeding, Neanderthals and Homo sapiens are distinct species with separate evolutionary lineages.
Very similar. Sapiens Sapiens are modern humans.
they are different. one way you can tell is that neandertals had bigger, more cube-shaped heads and likely more hair.
No, they are not. Neanderthals were the direct descendants of a species related to homo erectus, called homo heidelbergensis.
Yes.
Homo sapiens are the species of modern humans, while Neanderthals are an extinct species of human that lived alongside Homo sapiens in Europe and Asia. Neanderthals were known for their robust build and large brains, and genetic evidence suggests that they interbred with early Homo sapiens.
Neanderthals are given the name Homo sapiens neanderthalensis to show their classification within the same genus Homo as modern humans (Homo sapiens), but as a distinct species. The inclusion of Homo sapiens in their name emphasizes their close evolutionary relationship with modern humans.
Neanderthals are sometimes referred to as Homo sapiens neanderthalensis because they are considered a separate species within the Homo genus. The species name "neanderthalensis" indicates their distinctiveness from anatomically modern Homo sapiens.
Australopithecines appeared on Earth before Homo habilis, Neanderthals, and Homo sapiens.
No, Neanderthals and modern humans shared a common ancestor but evolved separately. Neanderthals are a distinct human species that lived in Europe and Asia before going extinct around 40,000 years ago. Modern humans, Homo sapiens, evolved in Africa and migrated out of the continent, eventually spreading and replacing Neanderthals.

The branch of direct ancestors to modern humans is known as the hominin lineage. It includes various species such as Ardipithecus, Australopithecus, and early members of the genus Homo. These ancestors evolved over millions of years to eventually give rise to Homo sapiens, or modern humans.
Members of the species Homo Sapiens include:Homo Sapiens Idaltu (Extinct)Homo Sapiens Neanderthalis/Neanderthals (Extinct)Homo Sapiens Sapiens/Modern Humans (Living)
It said that modern humans, homo sapiens sapiens, did not evolve from homo neanderthalensis, but some new studies suggest that some modern humans have Neanderthals in their ancestry.

Neanderthals
Australopithecines appeared on Earth before Homo habilis, Neanderthals, and Homo sapiens.
Yes, our official scientific name is Homo Sapiens. We are sapiens of the Homo genus.Yes, according to Binomial nomenclature, humans are Homo sapiens. In the past there were humans who weren't Homo sapiens. They belonged to other species in genus Homo. Their gradual evolution led to Homo sapiens, that is us.

Australian aborigines, like all modern human populations, belong to the Homo sapiens sapiens species. Neanderthals were a separate species of hominins that went extinct around 40,000 years ago.
The only living species of Homo sapiens is Homo sapiens sapiens, which includes all modern humans. Other species within the genus Homo, such as Homo neanderthalensis and Homo habilis, are now extinct.
