Interesting that this protein is the same in neanderthals and humans. The mtDNA evidence is flawed IMHO because of its matrilineal nature. I hope we can eventually sequence more proteins and/or get some nuclear DNA someday for a clearer answer to whether Neanderthals interbred with moderns and thus still survive in our gene pool.
