I feel like this is peak HN pedantry, but it seems like there's some controversy amongst anthropologists these days as how to sort of colloquially define human; I've heard some say that any species in the genus homo should qualify.

And how to legally define human is extremely controversial and always has been.

Is this because there are people walking around today with a substantial amount of Neanderthal DNA and were being cautious not to denigrate them?
