“In comparison, all people except sub-Saharan Africans share 1% to 4% of their DNA with Neanderthals today.”

So do sub-Saharan Africans share more than 1% to 4% of their DNA with Neanderthals or is it less?

According to this article,
A team of scientists comparing the full genomes of the two species concluded that most Europeans and Asians have between 1 to 4 percent Neanderthal DNA. Indigenous sub-Saharan Africans have no Neanderthal DNA because their ancestors did not migrate through Eurasia.

Less, as in “none.”

Neaderthals were fair skinned with red or blond hair.
