Funny how Neanderthals look almost exactly like us but we are not related?
You would have to say that we are, in fact, cousins.
But as the old saying goes, we are cousins about 25,000 times removed (500,000 years/20 years per generation removed).
There are quite a few animals that look the same, but are genetically unrelated. It's called repeatable evolution. (Though "evolution" is a misnomer since they appraently didn't evolve).

Oh no doubt we are related, that is I think common sense. The same way our german shephard is related to a siberian wolf.
