All the different forms of humans (and apes, if you want to go back far enough) came from some direct ancestor but Neanderthals were contemporaries of Homo Sapiens, not direct ancestors. Homo Habilis was a dead end variety, as were all the others but they weren't ancestral to us. Evolution is not a straight line deal. It's a tree with branches. Lemurs still exist and they are representative of that ancient ape ancestor.
Just get some books and read about it. It's fun and good for you.
