If that were the case, then why is it that most people out of africa have about 3 percent neanderthal genes

Can it be proven that they are actually Neanderthal genes or just genes that humans share with Neanderthals?

We share more DNA with mushrooms than any other plant. Did our ancient ancestors become amorous with a fun guy?

Europeans have about 3% Neanderthal DNA. Asians have some Denisovan DNA. Africans have neither. Africans also have up to 20% DNA from archaic hominids that are not found in Europeans.

Africans from Africa do not have Neanderthal DNA-Asians and Caucasians do-up to 3% or maybe a bit more. Apparently there weren’t any Neanderthals in Africa-but if it was widely separated from Europe and Asia it makes sense...

Not all hybrid animals are sterile, either-there are non-sterile female mules which produce healthy and fertile offspring that can look more like either a donkey or a horse, And it dos not seem to make a difference whether they mate with a stallion or a donkey. It is rare, but it does happen. I’ve heard that those horse/zebra hybrids-zorses-can also reproduce sometimes.
