In fact the answer is YES.

They are related, as are you, I & everyone else.
But, as soilguy points out, not necessarily more so.

Anyway Neanderthal man is, I believe, only known from northern latitudes (Europe & Western Asia in fact) so a genetic influence seems unlikely.


But could they not have migrated, perhaps when an asteroid struck the earth or something?
