neanderthalensis are truly separate species ever since. By appearances alone, Neanderthal fossils resemble ours—they are clearly members of our hominin family tree.
Were Neanderthals really a different species?
Our closest ancient human relatives
Neanderthals were humans like us, but they were a distinct species called Homo neanderthalensis.
Why are Neanderthals a different species?
Neanderthals and modern humans belong to the same genus (Homo) and inhabited the same geographic areas in western Asia for 30,000–50,000 years; genetic evidence indicate while they interbred with non-African modern humans, they ultimately became distinct branches of the human family tree (separate species).
