Neanderthals
Last common ancestor was ~300,000 yrs ago plus some. Other estimates go up to 800,000 yrs ago. I'll bet their NFL teams were formidable.

"LB1 is not a normal member of a new species, but an abnormal member of our own," says Eckhardt.
Neanderthals are classified as a sub-species or as a closely related species.
In classification, subspecies means a geolgraphically defined local population.
It is highly unlikely that a reanalysis of Neanderthal remains will lead to a different conclusion.
It is not length of life, but depth of life. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
