..The comparison to chimpanzees with modern humans is 55.0 ±3.0, compared to the average between humans and Neanderthals of 25.6 ±2.2. ...
What do you call 25.6 out of 55??It means that modern living humans are three quarters of the way between Neandertals and chimps.
I’d call it about half but I’d settle for 2/3; either way there’s zero possibility of our being descended from neanderthals or anything more remote from us than neanderthals, and that includes all other hominids. Basic reality, there’s nothing on this planet we could plausibly be descended from via any evolutionary process.
