Re:All Non-Africans Part Neanderthal, Genetics Confirm on Sunday July 24, 2011 @11:28AM (#2799544)

The similarities between these three DNAs is in the high 90s,which is pretty different from the 50% that you are talking about

Re:All Non-Africans Part Neanderthal, Genetics Confirm on Sunday July 24, 2011 @03:02AM (#2798846)

I was just trying to suggest that if subject C is related to subject B,and subject B is related to subject A,then it follows that C is also related to A,both A,B and C are related and there is no need for fine distinctions.

Re:All Non-Africans Part Neanderthal, Genetics Confirm on Sunday July 24, 2011 @02:35AM (#2798798)

Even Neanderthal's have African roots,so i do not see why anyone is struggling to make distinctions
