There is reportedly some debate about whether Neanderthals were a separate species. Google search results say that they were.  However, Neanderthals were close enough to us that I like the idea that they were a sub-species.

It is common for people of European ancestry to have a little bit of Neanderthal DNA.  Someone I know did a genetic test that showed a higher-than-average percentage of Neanderthal DNA.

Genetic diversity is a good thing regardless of the species.  It can help a group survive environmental changes.  Under harsh conditions, some individuals die off and some survive.  (Mother Nature is a bitch.  ðŸ™‚)
