Neanderthals first appeared around 400,000 years ago and went extinct around 40,000 years ago. They coexisted and interacted with early modern humans for a significant period of time before eventually dying out.
Yes, Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons overlapped in time and shared the planet for a period during the Upper Paleolithic era, around 40,000 to 30,000 years ago. However, they were two distinct species of hominids with separate evolutionary paths.
Scientists believe that modern humans, Homo sapiens, coexisted with Neanderthals for a period of time before ultimately outcompeting them. Interbreeding between the two species likely occurred and some Neanderthal DNA still exists in modern human populations. Over time, Homo sapiens adapted and evolved traits that allowed them to thrive and eventually dominate the Earth.
Neanderthals were Paleolithic, belonging to the prehistoric period known for the use of stone tools and hunting and gathering lifestyles. Neolithic refers to a later period when agriculture and more advanced tools were developed.
Neanderthals lived during the Pleistocene epoch, which lasted from about 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago. They existed in Europe and parts of Asia, coexisting with early human species like Homo sapiens for a period of time.
Coeval means, "of the same time period or era." So, Neanderthals and early Homo sapiens were coeval. Neanderthals were coeval with early Homo sapiens.

Depends on location and time period
Yes, Neanderthals lived during the Middle Paleolithic period, which spanned roughly from 300,000 to 30,000 years ago. They were a distinct human species that coexisted with early modern humans.
Neanderthals appeared on Earth before modern Homo sapiens, with fossil evidence suggesting they existed between 400,000 and 40,000 years ago. They inhabited Europe and parts of Asia, coexisting with modern humans for a period of time before going extinct.
No. European humans (Cro-Magnon) lived at the same time as the Neanderthals.
