Bull shit article. The Neanderthals were not our ancestors, they were a side branch of human evolution.

At the very least there was interbreeding between the two hominids, thus why all humans have Neanderthal DNA, say for Sub Sahara African and Australian aborigines. So in a way they are our ancestors.

Edit: Should add that Asians have Denisovan DNA not Neanderthal.

That much is right, but the story insinuated that homosapiens evolved from Neanderthals. Incorrect
