Funny you don't hear much about this, isn't it?
There were several threads on these discoveries right here on FR.
Recently they made some breakthroughs in sequencing smaller and smaller segments of DNA, so ancient DNA samples which could not be analyzed in the past may be sources of new data. I think there was at least one thread on this as well.
We have heard plenty about it here on FR.

The Neandertal EnigmaFrayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

Possibly the worst movie Bruce Willis ever made, if not one of the top 10 worst in history. "Last Man Standing."
