Neanderthal DNA found in some modern humans, scientists say
Scientists, with the help of a pinch of fossil bone dust, have discovered that modern human beings interbred with Neanderthals tens of thousands of years ago, and that 1 to 4 percent of the genes carried by non-African people are traceable to the much-caricatured, beetle-browed cavemen.
The interbreeding occurred after modern humans left Africa but before they diversified, through chance and natural selection, into the ethnic groups that exist today. That's why northern Europeans, the Chinese and Papua New Guineans carry traces of Neanderthal genes, BUT AFRICANS DO NOT.
So of you're not African you are an ape lol!
