Archaeology: Neanderthals

I really didn't think this was all that new, but I guess someone's done a definitive study:

The study found differences measured between humans and Neanderthals were significantly greater than those between subspecies of any single group, indicating Neanderthals were not a subspecies of humans.

Of course, what constitutes a "subspecies" is still very much debated. (Link via Pen-Elayne.)
