[snip] ...the persistence through time of extra Neanderthal ancestry in southern Europe needs further study. Populations within East Asia also show differences in Neanderthal similarity. North China has a bit more Neanderthal, on average, than South China according to the samples, though all are identified as ethnic Han Chinese. In Africa, the Yoruba of Nigeria have substantially more Neanderthal similarity than the Luhya of Kenya. This is puzzling, because the geographic location of the Luhya in East Africa seems better placed for Neanderthal similarity to appear, whether through ancient population structure or through the backmigration into Africa of Neanderthal descendants. Instead, the Yoruba in West Africa are the recipients of Neanderthal genes. [/snip]
