I'm not an expert on evolution by any means, but weren't neanderthals (who fall under the grouping of archaic homo sapiens) our ancestors?
Archaic Homo sapiens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If not, who are our most recent ascendants?

Evolved further than our ancestors is what I mean, the less the human looks and acts like it's homo erectus ancestors.
Good questions by the way. Got me thinking, which is the goal of this thread.
