SocraticGadfly: Neanderthals had three subgroups

Neanderthals had three subgroups

DNA sequencing (which is probably a bit iffy, given age and scarcity of remains) has identified three subgroups of Neanderthals.

Contrary to rumor, they are not the Rovian, Cheneyinsky, and Bushite subgroups. Actually, they were in different areas of Europe; a fourth has been tentatively identified in Asia.
