Homo Sapiens is unique amongst the species. It has no ancestors. Neanderthal, our closest species in structure and time has been proven not to be in any way related to homo sapiens, has been proven never to have produced mixed progeny with homo sapiens, and has been proven not to have passed on any of its genes to homo sapiens. Since all other similar known species were dead when homo sapiens first arose, and since the dead have no descendants man did not descend from apes, from Neanderthals, from so called hominids, or from any other creature as atheist evolutionists would like the world to believe.
It's an open question whether Neanderthals and modern humans ever mated. There's evidence both ways right now. The likelihood is that Neandethals were a sibling species, offshooting from archaic Homo sapiens.

Ahem, Mr. "I've got to lie for God," But there were three (count them, three) extant species of humanity sharing the planet up to 50,000 years ago. Of course, you have the extant Homo Sapiens and the extinct Homo Neanderthalensis. But there was also a remnant population of Homo Erectus -- the ancestor of both of the latter species. Now, if you'd actually read anything on the subject that was less than, oh, say 50 years old, you might have known this but instead you go on spreading falsehoods and misinformation all in the name of God. Fella, if I were you, I'd reconsider your tactics.
