Re: Neanderthal DNA in Finns

That's a good question. I don't know the answer.

There is a cave on the south central coastline of Finland that contains artifacts and animal bones that some researchers claim trace back to Neanderthals.

However, most regional academics believe that Neanderthals never lived in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, or Finland [see map for most Neanderthal sites].

Since most Finns come from central Asia, the Black Sea region, and northeastern Europe, they probably have very little, if any, Neanderthal DNA.

So, then the next question is could they have any Denosivan? I realize no studies on that may have been done, yet.
