Many of us carry Neanderthal genes. What is this rogue DNA doing?
- hellofunk 11y agoInteresting points: >What's more, the amount of Neanderthal DNA in Eurasians ranges from 1-4%. That means the fragments I carry may not be the same ones that you carry. >Researchers discovered that 20% of the Neanderthal genome can be found in humans today. No one has all 20%: it is spread across various populations.
- bediger4000 11y agoThis sounds like an interesting article, and indeed, the article has a lot of fun factoids. But unfortunately, it's just another he said/she said "objective journalism" article, in the sense that whatever one scientist says, another disputes. I realize that's the way of science, but really, you should title the article to reflect its main thrust, eh?
