Question on Counter-Extinction TLs

As Domestication/Counter-Extinction TLs are able to go into the Before 1900s Forum. So long, as it seems, that they apply to animals like the Mammoth, North American Horse, or what have you.

What about TLs involving the extinction of Neanderthal, and Homo floresiensis (Hobbit Man)?

I'd argue that a Homo Floresiensis survival TL should go in the Before 1900's forum, rather than in the ASB forum, since according to the oral history of the people of Flores, their ancestors drove the Homo floresiensis to extinction not by outcompeting them, but in a deliberate and purposeful act of genocide relatively recently. Neanderthals are a bit trickier though, since they didn't technically get driven to extinction- they were simply a distinct race of Homo Sapiens which got assimilated back into humanity.
 
I think the non-extinction of the Hobbit Man should go into the post-Y2k timeline as he was non-ectincted by Peter Jackson.

Now for the non-extinction of the spider-man.... You'd need to butterfly away Broadway Musicals so that would go into the pre-Glee timelines tread

Holy crap, I did not know that about Ebu Gogo.
So there were, it seems likely, two hominid species on the planet so recently that there may have been some still alive when, say... the US was founded.
 
I think there was a legend from the Hmong of Vietnam about short, hair covered people that dwelled in the jungle. This may just be a simple of myth, but it's not impossible that Homo Florensis migrated.
