Humans Did Not Wipe Out the Neanderthals, New Research Suggests

Neanderthals may not even have truly disappeared, but instead have been assimilated into modern human populations. "We know, of course, that we have a genetic legacy from Neanderthals of about 1 to 2 percent, so there was interbreeding," Higham said.

If it was just that one article, I'd agree. But I'd read about the genetic material before in several sources, some considerably more detailed. It's just something interesting.
