I think the key word is all modern humans (i.e. 30,000 genes common to Neanderthals not identified in any modern humans, with humans tending have to bits of other genes associated with Neanderthals but not other human ancestors which differ from human to human)
Below that it suggest that 60-70% of the [distinct from other hominid ancestors] Neanderthal genome is shared with a [typical, Eurasian] modern human, which again without more careful wording clashes with general assumption that our DNA has 99.7% overlap with Neanderthals, 98% plus with modern apes (and 60% with fruit flies!)
