Currently Neanderthals are classified as Homo neanderthalensis, however the were once classified as Homo sapiens neanderthalensis.The fact is that they share over 99.5 percent of our DNA, making them closer to modern humans than wolves are to most breeds of dogs. Just seems a little spurious to me that they are classified as a distinct species simply due to morphological differences and slightly less advanced tools.
