Source: Luydovic Orlando " Revisiting Neanderthal Diversity with a 100,000 year old mtDNA Sequence" Current Biology 16 (2005):R400-R402. I really do not believe in the theory of evolution.

The conclusion of the article:

The Neandertal sequence from Scladina confirms that Neandertals and modern humans were only distant relatives--Neandertal sequences are all closer to each other than to any known human sequence. But the study also reveals that the genetic diversity of Neandertals has been underestimated. Indeed, the mtDNA from the Scladina sample is more divergent relative to modern humans than is mtDNA from recent Neandertals, suggesting that Neandertals were a more genetically diverse group than previously thought.

Wow, look at that -- mountainlyons was telling a lie when he claimed that this paper supported his assertion that DNA " proves the Humans were in no way related to Neanderthals".

An anti-evolutionist spreading gross falsehoods and making false claims about research results. Imagine that!
