That article mentions several theories, of which only one is direct confrontation. Most of the studies I've come across don't favor that particular one.
Who knows though, eh?
We learn and re-analyze and re-interprete all the evidence over and over again every year.

We already know at HNS and HSS interbred as did HNS and the Denisovans. That would seem to throw a monkey wrench into the more strict definition of "species" to begin with.
Today I received my results of National Geographic's Geno Project DNA sequencing. I am 0.8% Neaderthal and 1.4% Denisovan. That is so cool to know!
Speaking of species I found this today on Science Daily

A comprehensive study shows compelling evidence that Homo Floresiensis was a distinct Homo species.
