Given evidence of Neanderthal genes in modern Europeans, I’m leaning towards considering them as a race, rather than an entirely separate species.
Solutreans?
I remember when Neanderthals were depicted as walking apes.
When the first “modern” view was created using forensic tools, all I could think about is they looked like my best friends family.
Still do. Stocky, hairy, and powerfully built.

Perhaps.
I guess it comes down to how easily they could breed together.
If easily then they would be considered another race.
They have extracted the full Neanderthal DNA so eventually they will figure it out.
They did have notable physical differences. Shorter forearms, etc.
