Did humans derive from neanderthals?

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.

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.
