I don’t think it’s quite that simple. Seems like I read that some of us have Neanderthal DNA, and others don’t.

Unless your DNA is strictly African, you have Neanderthal DNA.

This is not so shocking. The appearance of these guys was exaggerated until they because inseparable in our minds with the crude, the primitive, and the uncivilized. Then we learned that they buried their dead with flowers and wore jewelry, and had larger brains than contemporary humans.

My guess is that if you cleaned these people up to first world standards--styled hair, tailored clothing, good shoes and a little tasteful jewelry, no one would turn and stare, except perhaps in admiration...

The smart ones have considerable Neanderthal DNA.

Neanderthal..it’s the Good Stuff!
