The actual article title is:
"Genetic analysis of 40,000-year-old jawbone reveals early modern humans interbred with Neandertals".
The fact that modern humans have some Neanderthal ancestry is a well-known fact these days, and does not capture what is really notable about this particular find. The title I used on the submission is:
"DNA from a 40,000 year old jawbone reveals very recent Neanderthal ancestry"
which I think accurately reflects the content of the article and communicates to the reader why this article might be worth reading.
