so on those evolutionary ascent of man images, put a big X over the neanderthal.
So, your best effort here is a single, eleven year old paper? Bit weak, especially when in light of far more recent genetic evidence potentially indicating some level of interbreeding between archaic man and neanderthal. Here, take a look.
Equally interesting is the fact that, despite your assertions, neanderthals are still categorized in the Homo genus. Maybe you're just wrong here.
