Not such a bunch of Neandertals after all 

The first rough draft of Neandertal man’s genome code reveals that Humans and Neandertals are unlikely to have interbred. New genetic evidence discovered by a global group of scientists led by Svante Pääbo of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (Leipzig, Germany) extracted about 63% of the gene code for Neandertal DNA from a fossil bone discovered in Croatia.

One thing that has been discovered from this research is that Humans and Neandertals shared a gene associated with speech in humans. This gives weight to the thoery that Neandertals could speak just like we can.
