If the Neanderthals are not the direct ancestors of humans, is it still possible for humans and Neanderthals to be related?

A

Yes, because we share a common ancestor.

B

Yes, but only if humans and Neanderthals could have interbred.

C

No, because the human evolutionary tree is strictly linear and without branches.

D

No, because this means that Neanderthals evolved from an entirely different branch of organisms than humans did.
