no they did not. If you are a creationist, like me, you believe neandrethals never existed and that they were just humans with missest bones. Like people with Down syndrome have a purtruding, ape-like jaw and some people have unibrows. From an evolutionist standpoint, neandrathals died out due to lack of intelligence and other factors and homo-saipians, A competly different species, survived and became humans.

Did human evolve from neanderthals?
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.
Why are humans free living organisms?
Humans are not free-living organisms as they parasitically derive nutrition from the suffering of others.
Name three resources that humans derive from ecosystems?
Water sunlight and air
What does the debate about Neandertals' relation to anatomically modern humans focus on?
DNA evidence. A recent study based on DNA proves that modern humans and Neanderthals interbred.
Is a neanderthal stronger than a human?
Neanderthals were -much- stronger than modern humans. They, just like all other primates, had just as much upper body strength as they did lower body strength. We sacrificed our upper body strength in order to require less food. This is what helped us survive over neanderthals.
How did humans go from neanderthals to what you are today?
Scientists believe that modern humans, Homo sapiens, coexisted with Neanderthals for a period of time before ultimately outcompeting them. Interbreeding between the two species likely occurred and some Neanderthal DNA still exists in modern human populations. Over time, Homo sapiens adapted and evolved traits that allowed them to thrive and eventually dominate the Earth.
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 made neanderthals human-like?
Neanderthals had similar physical characteristics to modern humans, such as large brains, sophisticated tool-making abilities, and the ability to communicate. They also engaged in symbolic behavior, created art, and buried their dead, suggesting they had complex social structures and cultural practices. These traits indicate a level of cognitive and behavioral complexity that is characteristic of human-like beings.
Are Neanderthals humans?
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.
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.
What were Neanderthals the first of humans to do?
Paint on cave walls.
Who were the first humans to bury their dead?
The practice of burying the dead is one that dates back thousands of years and was likely carried out by various ancient human cultures independently. Some of the earliest evidence of deliberate burial comes from sites such as Qafzeh and Skhul in Israel, where Neanderthals and early modern humans were buried around 100,000 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.
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.
