Wasn't the "Neanderthal Man" was found to be a fraud decades ago? That was an American fossil whose name escapes me. The Neanderthal was a very advanced, extinct ape, the most advanced member of the same family as chimps and gorillas, his DNA generally described as about halfway between ours and that of a chimpanzee. The genetic gulf was far too wide for us to be descended from the Neanderthal and that also rules out all other hominids as plausible human ancestors since they were all FURTHER removed from us THAN the Neanderthal.
There has never been anything on this Earth which modern man could be descended from and the theory of evolution is basically a bunch of bullshit.

Now hold on there.
Neanderthal Mitochondrial DNA is found in about 12% of Europeans today.
We interbred.
