+M. Woofington Strictly speaking the neanderthals can be said to be the same spieces but a different race then us (kind of like a border collie vs a pitbull vs a cairn terrier) while the differences between what used to be thought of as races of humans is just tiny variations like the difference between two cairn terriers with different fur colours. And at any rate the colours makes no sense as a dividing line anyway since there's way more traits that actually matter that differ significantly between individuals of the same colour then between individuals with different colours anyway. Like our susceptibility and resistance towards various diseases, our capability to deal with different amounts and types of food effectively, our ability to deal with different amounts of air pressure and oxygen levels and still give birth and so one and so forth.
