There is some controversy on this; some scientist believe that Neanderthals were a sub-species of humans, and some believe that they were a separate species and not humans at all.

What evidence supports the idea that Neanderthals weren't the ancestors of Cro-Magnon people?
DNA evidence shows that the Cro-Magnon were not descended from Neanderthals.
Between what periods did both Neanderthals and Cro Magnons co exist?
Between 50,000 to 30,000 years ago.
Which describes a Mendelian trait?
humans either have straight thumbs or bent thumbs
Why do humans not have the same genetic information as someone else?
the genetic coding of humans is different. thats why chimpanzee is different from humans. as simple as that.
What is distemper in humans?
Canine distemper can infect humans. When it infects humans it is known as Paget's disease. It increases the production of osteoclasts. Distemper in dogs will not produce distemper in humans, it is a different disease in humans.
Did Neanderthals give rise to European humans?
No. European humans (Cro-Magnon) lived at the same time as the Neanderthals.
What category of animal do neanderthals fall into?
Neanderthals are early humans, therefore they are mammals
What were Neanderthals the first of humans to do?
Paint on cave walls.
One difference between early modern humans and neanderthals is that early modern humans?
had more sophisticated tools and art, as well as a more complex social structure than Neanderthals.
Did neanderthal live before cro magnon?
Yes, Neanderthals existed before Cro-Magnon humans. Neanderthals emerged around 400,000 years ago, while Cro-Magnon humans appeared around 40,000 years ago.
Did neanderthals have smaller brains than humans?
Their brain size was the same as modern humans.
How are neanderthals not like humans?
Neanderthals had a flat, sloping cranium, where as human have a round cranium. They had a larger and wider rib cage than humans as well as larger elbow joints.
What caused the scientists to name these prehistoric humans Neanderthals?
The first remains identified as neanderthals were discovered in the Neander Valley in German.
Did people evolve from neanderthals?
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.
What could prove that humans evolved from Neanderthals?
I doubt that any evidence, experiment, or research could prove that humans evolved from Neanderthals. Neanderthals and humans both evolved from Heidelberg Men (Homo heidelbergensis). Genetic evidence, cloning, and geometric reconstruction can effectively establish that humans (Homo sapiens) and Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) evolved from Homo heidelbergensis, but it is difficult to irrevocably prove something like that, as it cannot be, as far as we know, recreated in a laboratory.
What is the size of a neanderthals?
Shorter than modern humans, and stockier.
Is neanderthals a civilization?
Neanderthals were not a civilization in the traditional sense. They were a species of archaic humans who lived in Europe and parts of Asia around 400,000 to 40,000 years ago. Neanderthals had their own unique culture and tools but did not develop a complex civilization like modern humans.
