The first remains identified as neanderthals were discovered in the Neander Valley in German.
Yes, humans interbred with Neanderthals in the past.

No, humans and Neanderthals are not the same species. Neanderthals were a separate species of hominins that lived alongside and interbred with early humans.
Neanderthals were not the first early humans, but they were a distinct human species that lived alongside Homo sapiens. They had a similar level of intelligence and even interbred with early humans. Neanderthals became extinct around 40,000 years ago.
Yes in a way.They were the first humans to care for each other and have feelings but not on such a level as humans today.
No. European humans (Cro-Magnon) lived at the same time as the Neanderthals.
Neanderthals are early humans, therefore they are mammals
One of the first controversies surrounding Neanderthals was their classification as a separate species from modern humans. Initially, some scientists argued that Neanderthals were a subspecies or a primitive race within the Homo sapiens lineage. However, subsequent research based on fossils and genetic evidence supported their designation as a distinct species, Homo neanderthalensis.
Yes, Neanderthals and humans were able to interbreed, as evidenced by genetic studies showing that modern humans of non-African descent have Neanderthal DNA in their genomes.
Yes, scientific evidence suggests that Neanderthals interbred with early humans, as indicated by genetic studies showing that modern humans outside of Africa have Neanderthal DNA in their genomes.
