Based on this article: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/05/100506-science-neanderthals-humans-mated-interbred-dna-gene/.
Evidence found recently suggests that modern day homo-sapiens and neanderthals lived side by side for many thousands of years, and that the two species cross breeded. This is how, scientists are now saying, we are now genetically who we are. Modern-day homo sapiens are thought to have as little as 1-4% neanderthal in their genes, but many scientists say the actual percentage could be much higher.
I won't elaborate on this much since, after all, I am a Christian. For this reason I do not believe in evolution. I do, however, find this study rather interesting- if this theory were true, how fascinating it would be to have two humanoid species live side-by-side! How would they view each other? Would there be prejudices? Why have relations with a being of another genetic structure in the first place? I hope these are answered as time goes by, and science solves (or tries, anyway) life's great mysteries.
