Note that none of those examples are Neanderthals, but rather are different, earlier hominids.

I'm still not real sauvy with the technical considerations of the evolution of man. to me, a man is a man whether he was early man or modern man. i know that because of the complications of discerning what in the past is a part of the "man" tree that the names for the different era's are necessary.
​
The hominids you referenced were a lot more like apes than what we would identify as "men."
