First of all Neanderthals, while in the same genus as Homo Sapiens, are a different species so regardless of what happened it's technically not genocide.

Secondly saying evolution "encourages" genocide is like saying the force of gravity encourages people to fall and injure themselves.  Evolution and gravity are not human inventions, they are discoveries and the theories that describe them, are just that, attempts to describe the means by which these phenomena operate. 

 

Well, some scientists classify Neanderthals as the same species, just a different sub species. Just as some scientists classify the three major races, caucasian, mongoloid, and negroid as different subspecies of homosapiens.

I seem to recall reading an article that gave the genetic difference between the three main human races is greater then the difference beteen some species.

Unless the scientists you mentioned rank which subspecies are better than the other, then there is not any justification to use evolution as a reason for genocide. The human species is diverse and different. What a big shocker.
