Aboriginals sue U.K. museum over bones
The importance of the Tasmanian DNA is that these are
descendants of nearly pure DNA of a "degenerate" ( they had the lowest
level of subsistence known: they had lost the ability to make fire)
anatomically modern human run off the big contentment by Neanderthals.
The ATM's that returned to Europe were a mutation of some sort
from this strain of human. When they returned in fewer numbers, they
drove the Neanderthal to extinction.
So that the difference in the two strains of DNA is actually important
and a "pure" sample would be nice to compare to other ATM DNA.

Scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Joint Genome Institute have sequenced genomic DNA from fossilized Neanderthal bones. ... Their results show that the genomes of modern humans and Neanderthals are at least 99.5-percent identical, but despite this genetic similarity, and despite the two species having cohabitated the same geographic region for thousands of years, there is no evidence of any significant crossbreeding between the two. ... “In this study, we have demonstrated that Neanderthal genomic sequences can be recovered using a metagenomic library-based approach, and that specific Neanderthal sequences can be obtained from such libraries.” ...
