Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens were on earth at the same time. Homo Sapiens out-competed them, and the neanderthals died off. Do you think we are still evolving, and maybe there is more than one species of human now? And, are they out-competing us?

I have seen people with prominent brows that make me wonder. However, in answer to your question, there is no evidence of another subspecies at present. Of course we are still evolving, but consider that history covers a short fraction of human existence, and it is unlikely that any noticeable supra-species mutations have emerged and survived in the short span of 5,000 years.

It depends on how you define the word "human." We are probably still evolving and probably in multiple directions but the exact direction is impossible to see. There are reports of very small creatures that look very much like Homo floresiensis, the so called Hobbit of the island of Flores in Indonesia. Similar creatures are reported in nearby islands, Orang Pendak and in the Asian Mainland (Teh lma among others). There are Yowie, bigfoot, almasti, and bigfoot stories. If any of these creatures managed to survive then maybe depending on your defintion, there is another type of human. There were Neanderthals and Homo erectus living at least 30,000 years ago and probably we didn't find the last. It is certainly possible one (some) lasted to modern times. Those who don't think it possible are generally people from big cities who have a distorted view of the real natural world and people who have never visited true wilderness areas found in the Canada, western US and some parts of Asia among others.

The short answer: As far as we know, no! Of course, if you prefer living with some mystery in your life, you are free to believe in Sasquatch, Orang thingy, Bigfoot, Yeti and Co.
Also Elves.

Yes we are still evolving but in a random sort of way. Some believe we are devolving because people are saved from dying in many ways going into our productive years and making the human kind weak. I believe the next next evolutionary jump will be people integrating into machines. I don't mean machines taking us over but us taking over machines.

as far as we know, there is no other Homo species on earth at the moment...
its POSSIBLE that there are other Homo variants existing, and they could account for the reports of "bigfoot" or "yeti" etc...
are we still evolving? yes, most definetly...

No...one kind of human. Period. What evidence would there be for another sub-species?

If there were more than one species, they would not be able to interbreed. So no.
