[asa] The Neanderthal Genome Project

Have you heard about this anyone? They have sequenced
part of Neanderthal DNA!

So far some of the conclusions; they have 99.5% similarity
to the human genome, and they claim there was no
interbreeding between modern homo sapiens and
neanderthals.

I wonder if they have sequenced the foxp2 gene yet? This
might give us some insight into whether or not they had
spoken language.
