They weren't. Neanderthals were a different species (or subspecies) of human. Homo sapiens are modern Humans. Both species lived on Earth at the same time.

No, Neanderthals and modern humans shared a common ancestor but evolved separately. Neanderthals are a distinct human species that lived in Europe and Asia before going extinct around 40,000 years ago. Modern humans, Homo sapiens, evolved in Africa and migrated out of the continent, eventually spreading and replacing Neanderthals.
