Of course they did! Scientist have found fossils that are dated to about 600,000-350,000 years ago.
For that matter, "neanderthals" were human, Homo sapiens neanderthalensis. They are considered a subspecies... about as closely related to modern humans as dogs are to wolves, for example.
The last human species to live on Earth alongside Homo sapiens was Neanderthals. They coexisted with our species for thousands of years before eventually going extinct around 40,000 years ago.
Homo sapiens are the species of modern humans, while Neanderthals are an extinct species of human that lived alongside Homo sapiens in Europe and Asia. Neanderthals were known for their robust build and large brains, and genetic evidence suggests that they interbred with early Homo sapiens.
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.
The evolutionary order goes Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Neanderthals, and Homo sapiens. Homo habilis appeared around 2.8 million years ago, followed by Homo erectus around 2 million years ago, Neanderthals around 400,000 years ago, and finally Homo sapiens around 300,000 years ago.
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.

Yes, Neanderthals were a distinct species from modern humans, known as Homo sapiens. They lived alongside each other in different regions of the world before Neanderthals went extinct around 40,000 years ago.

130,000 years ago until 27,000 years ago.

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.
Modern humans can be traced back to both Anatomically modern Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals. Anatomically Modern Homo Sapiens share all the same physical characteristics of humans evolved in Africa about 200,000 years ago. Neanderthals also evolved 200,000 years ago but went extinct while AM Homo Sapiens lived on. Neanderthals share a great deal of characteristics with modern humans and anthropologist have suggested that Neanderthals and AM Homo Sapiens may have interbred.
Neanderthals may or may not have been a branch from which homo sapiens are descended. It is almost certain they were contemporaries with cro-magnons. However there were several predecessors to Neanderthals.
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.
For hundreds of thousands of years. They died out about 27,000 years ago.
