I'm talking about neanderthals and other species of the homo genus. The world is already incredible and fascinating. Yet this would increase tenfold with different societies of human-like species. Plus, it would be nice for humans to have a close relative that they can communicate with (something that can't be done with our current closest relatives, the Bonobo).

Do you feel the same?

Then we'd have speciesism on top of racism.

If they existed, you can bet humanity would have enslaved them for menial labour.

Most evidence indicates that Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens could successfully breed. I'd wager if Neanderthals didn't go extinct like the originally did, they'd probably be "extinct" just through thousands of years of interspecies breeding. Like you might have some parts of the world where people had more Neanderthal in them. But we likely wouldn't have full-blooded Neanderthals left.

We would've blended together anyway. And we sorta did. Actually, check out this recent discovery:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/papua-guineans-genetically-isolated-50-120017967.html

Papua New Guineans, genetically isolated for 50,000 years, carry Denisovan genes that help their immune system, study suggests

Papua New Guineans, who have been genetically isolated for millennia, carry unique genes that helped them fight off infection and some of those genes come from our extinct human cousins, the Denisovans.
The research also found that highlanders and lowlanders evolved different mutations to help them adapt to their wildly different environments.

Modern humans first arrived in Papua New Guinea from Africa around 50,000 years ago. There, they interbred with Denisovans who'd been living in Asia for tens of thousands of years. As a result of this ancient interbreeding, Papua New Guineans carry up to 5% Denisovan DNA in their genomes.

Not really. Itd just be one more thing for bigots to shoot their big mouths off over.

Yeah, it's pretty upsetting that we're the last homo genus species left.
But who knows, maybe more might pop up eventually?

Life and everything would be different if we managed to co-exist with Neanderthals and Denisovans.

We can't even get along with other humans, why do you think we'd get along with another intelligent species?

considering the history of humans, i feel almost certain that we wiped them out back in the day

More human species to hopefully make more scientific/mathematical/etc. Discoveries.

Fingers crossed.
