Neanderthals were not Homo Sapiens (our species), Cro-Magnons were, thus the latter were our ancestors and not the former.

Current genetic research indicates that Europeans had Neanderthals among their ancestors. In other words, Neanderthals interbred with the out-of-Africa CroMags to produce the non-African races of Man.

Yes, there's some evidence of interbreeding but not enough to prove Homo Sapiens evolved from Neanderthals. Also, with due respect, are you suggesting that the "out-of-Africa CroMags" were black or Negroid because I don't think at that early stage there is evidence that they were. And didn't the spread of out-of-Africa hominids occur before the advent of Cro-Magnon man?
