Even though we're all homo sapiens, could we have traces of different homo species in our DNA ?

I was just reading up on human evolution on wikipedia, and there is a comparative table of Homo species. I know that because my heritage is Filipino, we descend from the Java (from homo erectus). So even though we're all homo sapiens now, would I have traces of homo erectus in my DNA while someone from Europe could have traces of homo neanderthalensis? They bleep out the h_m_ word.
