50,000 years ago, the 250,000 mutineers and crew from the "Dahak" landed
on Earth.  Over the centuries they killed off or assimilated the
Neanderthals.

I once read a short story (?) where what we call "humans" were in fact
... Martians. But I don't think the natives they displaced were
Neandertals.

Been a long time, though, so my memory may not be all that accurate.
