All I know is that to assert humans aren't descended from Neanderthals is to bring the notion of "common descent" into question. No?

All I know is that you do not understand English. Please retire from posting until you have corrected that deficiency in your education.

Nope. Humans, Neanderthals, and apes all have common decent. First a split occurred where the apes split off. Later on, there was another split between Humans and Neanderthals.

No. It is not clear why you would think that after all of the posts that have answered your previous questions.

Neanderthals and modern humans are related in the same sense that cousins are related - by a common ancestor.
