Except discovery over the last 20 years suggest a case can be made that there never were any other species of homo.
The homo genus continuously existed a single specie with multiple interbreeding populations. The selection amongst the different populations, the interbreeding, and genetic drift caused the range of phenotypes to change over time
So populations of homo may have come and gone, but no specie went extinct.

That's far too optimistic.
We will never successfully rid ourselves of ourselves.
