No, this is a common misunderstanding. Neanderthals did live at the same time as our ancestors did and they also shared a common ancestry with modern humans however, they are not an ancestor of modern humans. They are in fact a different species.

How many types of early men were there?

For reasons not yet clearly understood, the Neanderthals died out about 26,000 years ago in southern Spain. Modern humans are decendants of the Cro-Magnon races.
