This is a very recent discovery - the findings come from sequencing the Neanderthal genome by the Max Planck Institute.

Whoa, I had no idea we had done that. Have we sequenced genomes from any human species?

edit: wikipedia and google searches haven't revealed any positives. Thanks for that link though, very interesting.
