Both fossil and genetic evidence indicate that Neanderthals and modern humans (---- sapiens) evolved from a common ancestor between 700,000 and 300,000 years ago. Neanderthals and modern humans belong to the same genus (----) 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).
