Homo neanderthalensis, or more commonly known as Neanderthals, overlapped with Homo sapiens. This group of hominids, grouped under the genus Homo, did indeed live at the same time but in different parts of the world. The only hominid species which still exists today is H. sapiens, which are modern day humans. Neanderthals went extinct about 5,000 years after Homo sapiens reached Europe, the continent in which Neanderthals are thought to have gone extinct-during a cold period in Europe.
