Neanderthals were people too

What I found interesting is that, while any given modern human has no more than about 4% Neanderthal DNA, it isn't the same 4% in everyone. About 20% of the Neanderthal genome is found in humans. I'm not sure what this says about interbreeding.

And then there's the Denisovans... I gotta get my DNA done...

I think this says a lot about spurious correlations in DNA "science".

It says that 80% of the Neanderthal genome produces a selective disadvantage?

I got my DNA done.

3.3% Neanderthal. That's 99th percentile.

Not sure if that means anything.
