Were they ancestors to the civilized men as science tell us? I guess not, but no clear idea, please help.

Forgive me, I read the quotes and did not find an answer, can you elaborate?

The above refs speak about aborigines, not specifically cavemen. Forbidden Archeology makes a comparison to vanaras and shows that primitive humans were living at the same time as modern ones.user [2] · 2009-01-27
So, how modern men came into being? They sprouted like a already grown up child from the womb? Sorry for my ignorance.user [38] · 2009-01-27
Modern men, aborigines, animals, etc. all come from prajapatis and daughters of Daksa. In this manvantara were descendants of Vaivasvata Manu as per SB 2.7.12. See the story of Matsya avatara and the beginning of SB 9.1.user [154] · 2009-01-30
There is one caveman in the story of syamantaka jewe:-) Definitely parallel species and not the origin of humans.user [19] · 2009-02-16
Sadaputa prabhu explained this in one lecture I heard some time ago. He said that they lived at the same time too like there are monkeys now living in africa or the zoo. The question is if there are any modern skulls or body parts that are 10 million years old for example.

As I recall, Srila Prabhupada said that the demigods, cities, etc., on the moon would be nearly invisible to us. I think it was due to being more subtle matter. I thought it was like that with the civilizations from previous yugas.
Considering that the moon looks basically white to us although Srila Prabhupada said it was full of vegetation, which would presumably make it green, it seems obvious that there is something keeping us from seeing everything.

Ramesvara: Their idea is that at that time man was living in the form of half monkey, half man in a cave, and gradually he evolved to become more civilized.Prabhupada: That is still there. Kinnaras. Kinnaras means it is doubtful whether he is man or monkey.
Tamala Krsna: Wow.
Prabhupada: There is a Kinnara-loka. Kimpurusa. Kinnara. They are still existing. It is not that they are finished.
