If we couldn't be descended from the neanderthal, it seems clear enough there's nothing else we COULD have been descended from.

Woah, pal. There's an enormous assumption there - that we're aware of all homind species that have ever existed.
​
What on Earth would lead you to believe that a) all hominid species left fossils and b) there are no hominid fossils we haven't discovered yet?
​
Did you think we weren't going to catch that, or what?
