People are so weird and squirmy about the term "species" --especially with reference to humans and our closest extinct cousins. Someone will ask "Are Neanderthals the same species as us or a sub species?" as if this was a very meaningful and serious question. As if some adjudicator will emerge with golden scales and weigh the answer.
We're related to them, some are our ancestors. We don't know very much about them.
What more do you want?
