What I was attempting to ask, in my Holiday Inn Express-educated way was, "is it possible that the hybrids (i.e., Neander/Cromagnon) were not uniformly successful and that eventually the Neandertal portion of our DNA became sort of like, well, tiny?"
Also, are there populations around today where the Neandertal Quotient is much higher? Like take me, for instance. I have a long pointy nose and like really thin lips, a big cleft chin, but very prominent brow ridges. How much Neandertal DNA might I have? And, would a DNA test tell me how much?
Many women express an interest in redecorating my cave, but so far I have not had to club any of them.
