Basically, somebody who wanted to go on believing that modern man had evolved would have to come up with some new hominid, closer to us (than the neanderthal) in both time and morphology, to claim as a human ancestor.
I don't mean to whip out logic on you, but what you've done is commit a fallacy called appeal to ignorance.
You are basically saying that just because we haven't found a homonid close enough to modern man that such a homonid doesn't exist. Drawing a conclusion from an incomplete record is as ignorant as anyone can get.
Edited-wrong info.

Neadertal remains have been found more a bit more widely than this. As well as finds in Europe, there are finds in Syria, Israel, Uzbekistan, Morocco and Iraq. Some of these fossils are described at Homo neanderthalensis, at Stephen Heslip's pages at Michigan State University, for a course on Hominid Fossils.
Really now. My bad.
I've always thought they were unique to Europe. Oh well.
What about Africa? Has there been findings of them in Africa?
