The Neandertal EnigmaFrayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

Interesting, but the article didn’t seem to give a definition for Asian. Do the genetics match the geographic dividing line (the Ural Mountains, Caucasus Mountains, Turkish straits and Sinai) or does the European bloodline include the Mid East and India with the Asian one in Eastern Asia? Similarly, did the African grouping include just south of the Sahara or did they try to group those north into it?
The study still does not explain Helen Thomas.
OK How about just three, Ham, Shem and Japheth Noah’s sons.

This is why I didn’t answer the race question on my census.
I haven’t had a DNA test done yet - not going to lie/s
I need to do some research to find out which kind of ancestry is healthiest and produces greatest longevity, and claim that.
