This is modern scientific Latin, not classical Latin.
Homo (mankind) is used for all the various forms of man and man-like creatures discovered in archaeological studies. Neanderthal is the name of a valley in Germany (the Neander thal or valley in pre-1901 German) near Dusseldorf where the first fossils were identified.
So homo neanderthalensis means "man of the Neander valley" in scientific Latin.
