A comparison of the genomes of a Neanderthal who lived 120,000 years ago in Siberia with those from modern humans in sub-Saharan Africa has revealed insight into the migratory and interbreeding history of both species.

        Maybe. Maybe it’s my neanderthal genes that sing at the thought of wrestling some big-boned, ginger cavewoman?

    Are there any people left with neanderthal ancestry? I knew a guy in highschool who definitely looked like one.

      yes, most of us, basically all of eurasia, and anyone descended from eurasia that now lives abroad

      a long winded way of saying “everyone but africans”

      a map of the earth as a globe, centered on afro-eurasia, shaded with choropleth tone, blue to white to red. blue areas indicate lack of neanderthal admixture at 0%, white areas indicate 1%, light red areas indicate 2%, and deep red areas indicate a 3% or more neanderthal admixture. siberia, east asia, and south east asia are shaded deep red. europe, middle east and india are shaded in a lighter red. africa is shaded in blue, except for some coastal areas along the mediterranean sea, the red sea, and the gulf of aden, which are shaded in a white to very light red.

      When I did my DNA test/report, it claimed to tell you what percentage of neanderthal DNA you have/where you stand relative to others, but I’m not sure how valid that stuff is.

          According to 23andMe:

          You inherited a small amount of DNA from your Neanderthal ancestors. Out of the 7,462 variants we tested, we found 243 variants in your DNA that trace back to the Neanderthals.

          All together, your Neanderthal ancestry accounts for less than ~2 percent of your DNA.
