Or...modern humans walked out of the Garden of Eden (even if it wasn’t a literal garden and there weren’t literally two people in it) and the Neanderthals evolved from apes.

These anti-evolution sites are getting real clever. Don’t put anything in the site name about the ax they are grinding and trick folks into going.

By the way, on second reading, I noticed (!) that I had misunderstood what exactly was being studied.
I had assumed, since it's the latest cutting-edge of technology, that these folks were studying DNA extracted from ancient teeth.

No. They were looking at the teeth themselves, morphologically, not at DNA from those teeth.
They found that teeth from homo antecessor did not closely enough match our own to be considered -- in their opinions -- as common ancestors with Neanderthals.

I'd say that's fine, since the truth of the matter seems to be highly complicated, and may-or-may-not directly include homo antecessors.
So this study simply tells us that science is still a long way off from finding definitive answers.

They conclude with high statistical confidence that none of the hominins usually proposed as a common ancestor, such as Homo heidelbergensis, H. erectus and H. antecessor, is a satisfactory match....

Homo heidelbergensis - too drunk

H. erectus - too horny

H. antecessor - too puzzled by what "antecessor" might mean
