"I would have been surprised if Neanderthals didn't move at least 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) in their lifetime, or even in a year ... We're talking about humans, not trees," Finlayson said. Not really. You are talking about a very advanced, exstinct ape. Neanderthal DNA is typically described as about halfway between ours and that of a chimpanzee.

“Typically described” by whom? First I’ve ever heard that description...and IMNSHO, it’s a load of bollocks.

Neanderthal DNA is typically described as about halfway between ours and that of a chimpanzee.
Now that's a new one. I'm guessing that claim might have been made by the Discovery Institute.

No, Neanderthal DNA is not described as halfway between a chimp’s and a modern human’s.
