Physically, Neanderthals had a larger body mass, bigger muscles, an expanded ribcage that housed bigger lungs, a weak chin and a prominent brow ridge.
Homo sapiens
Australopithecus to homo habilis to homo erectus to Neanderthal to homo sapiens to us or better known as homo sapien sapiens
The binomial name for Neanderthal is Homo neanderthalensis. Some researchers consider Neanderthal more specifically as Homo sapiens neanderthalensis.
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.
Within the genus homo there are several species. The exact number of these is debated but some include: * Homo sapiens sapiens (Our own species, anatomically modern humans) * Homo sapiens * Homo neanderthalis (commonly known as Neanderthal man and sometimes considered to be Homo sapiens neanderthalis) * Homo erectus * Homo habilis
um... we did! Yay us!If you mean neanderthals (homo sapiens neanderthalensis) there are many theories to why they lost to us.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthal#Extinction
Yes, humans are the only existing homo sapiens. The term homo sapien refers to the modern man. Homo neanderthalsis is the Neanderthal or primitive man.
After Neanderthals, the next phase in human evolution is Homo sapiens, which are modern humans. Our species, Homo sapiens, emerged around 300,000 years ago and is the only surviving species of the genus Homo.
The two subspecies are Homo sapiens idaltu (which is thought extinct) and Homo sapiens sapiens. Some sources show Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) as a subspecies (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis).Similarly, the discovered specimens of the Homo rhodesiensis species have been classified by some as a subspecies (Homo sapiens rhodesiensis), but these last two subspecies classifications are not widely accepted by scientists.
No. They are separate species of humans.

Yes, recent genetic evidence suggests that Neanderthals and Homo sapiens did interbreed, with modern humans of non-African descent carrying about 1-2 Neanderthal DNA.
