Sorry, all the DNA evidence shows they diverged from ALL human populations long before any group of modern humans diverged from each other.

Both the mitochondrial and nucleic DNA evidence agree that they are clearly not human, not nestled into that chart somewhere.

The chart is based on genetic analysis, it is not wrong in representing what it is, a measure of genetic distance.

It agrees with other studies on DNA genetic distance between human populations and that distance will hold true independent of what neutral DNA markers are used.

Neandertal Genome Yields Evidence Of Interbreeding With Humans

“It’s impossible to talk about them as ‘them’ anymore,” he says. “Neandertals are us.”

Something I've said on this site for over a decade. "We Are Neanderthals."
