A couple of years ago I read in National Geographic that Neandertals and
Homo Sapiens evolved from two different apes. I am new to this
newsgroup, but I get the impression that it is generally believed that
Neandertals and Homo Sapiens had a much more recent common ancestor. Is
there some consensus on when the two branches diverged?

Thanks for any info,
Guy
