They certainly were human. Homo sapiens only appears 200-300kya and initially shared the planet with as many as 8 or more other human species, but humans first evolved 2.3myo.

From that perspective I find it hard to imagine that neanderthals would be treated that much differently than other outsiders. Well unless they behaved significantly than homo sapiens when interacting with other people..
maybe not the most ethical and objective analogy but dogs and wolves within the same pack seem to get along much better than they do with wolves from other packs. So I’m not sure species would be a huge issue in very simple communities
