> everyone who is not of sub-Saharan decent is part Neanderthal.

Has this been proven? I mean both conditions, ie: that everyone of sub-Saharan descent having no Neanderthal DNA? Also, the percentages are really low, eg: my friend from China did 23andme and his Neanderthal percentage was 0.1%.

I suppose in theory that there might be some non-sub-Saharan people that don’t have Neanderthal DNA just by chance, but it is unlikely.

There are also people that have far more than the average (2-3%) - for every person like your friend there are other with way more.
