Nothing in particular, I've always found this a fascinating subject.  I can remember pouring over the Time-Life series with my grandpa.  Back then it was though that there wasn't any over-lap with Homo neanderthalensis & Homo sapiens.  Grandpa would just be spell-bound to learn that most people today have about 2-3% neanderthal genes where the species cross bred.
