23andMe told me that I had Neanderthal DNA but said nothing about Denisovan. I feel like I was gypped.

They say that all people have some Neanderthal DNA unless their ancestry is 100% Sub-Saharan African. I have a distant match on 23andMe whose ancestry is mostly Sub-Saharan African but about 18% European. According to 23andMe, he has more Neanderthal traits than 1% of their customers. That must be from his European ancestry.

Does Dennis Kucinich have any Denisovan DNA?

Actually they found that they have some too. Which make sense. People moved in and out of Africa the way they moved in and out of every other place.

````—
No Denisovans were big like WWE wrestlers. They preferred cold high altitude climates (mountain tops like part of the Caucuses and Himalayas). Kucinich is, comparatively, a runt who lives at a low altitude in a warm climate.

Denisovan hybrids entered N America at some point, causing some northern tribes to have a high percent of Denisovan DNA (6% I think).
