Are Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals the Same Species?

Summary Species is hard to define. Homo Sapiens and Neanderthal are distinctly different anatomically. But if you prefer the definition based on interbreeding then they are the same species. Still no Neanderthal mitochondrial DNA has been found in Sapiens suggesting male Sapiens - female Neanderthal hybrids might not be fertile and hence at least becoming different species. Then there's Denisovans that interbred with both Sapiens and Neaderthals.
