So-called "cavemen" were already human, hence the now outdated term "Cro-Magnon" (The Big Cave). These people lived in caves during the Upper Paleothic period in Europe around 45,000 years ago.

It didn't quite work that way. It was once believed that humans, as we know them, evolved from earlier forms of man. More recent science supports that the earlier forms were actually dinstict species of their own. It has also been shown that more than one species were known to occupy a general area at the same time. As in the case of many types of animal, these early humanoids were very specialized. Being highly specialized in a stable environment is a great thing, but when things start to change these same specializations can make it difficult to adapt. Failure to adapt basically brought these other species to extinction.

Theyre the same things

(different author) I believe that cavemen were never modern humans and never evolved into modern homo sapiens but they did have the same genus, i think, as us. The Neanderthals became extinct so it's not possible for them to evolve into us. Other similar cavemen species also died out.
