I'm confused by these statements. It says that Neanderthals first came from Africa, but there is no Neanderthal DNA in Africans. Were there two separate groups in Africa, who did not commingle?

That's a good sign of intelligence... Only a moron or someone thoroughly brain-washed by their government school education would NOT be confused by this pap...

The conventional view is that earlier "archaic" forms of human (the genus Homo) populated the Earth, and were replaced in Africa by "anatomically modern" humans, Homo Sapiens. As they spread out of Africa, they absorbed and/or replaced every earlier form.

I’ve never read that the Neanderthal came out of Africa. Certainly the ancestors of Neanderthal had to but not the Neanderthals themselves.

Neanderthals were built for a cold climate not a hot African one.
