If this observation holds (i.e., if it is not influenced by contamination, and the ascertainment function does indeed show this to be an excess of derived SNPs), then it is one of the strongest pieces of evidence for genetic intermixture of Neandertals and modern humans. Note that there are two avenues for this gene flow -- either from the ancient ancestors of modern humans into Neandertals, or out of Neandertals into early modern humans. I'm sure we will hear more about this when they have more sequence.
