The 'who has the most Neanderthal genes' (Europeans or Asians) story keeps changing.

This past week again, I read that Europeans have the largest amount...now, this.

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

(Genesis 6:1-4)

Neanderthals interbred with Asians and Europeans...but not Africans. Why?

Racism.

Neanderthals were clearly racist and therefore deserve to be extinct!

Ummmm. I learned how DNA was spread as a young buck. Did my best to help in the day. I should have asked for a government grant.

Contrary to the popular perception, Neanderthal DNA may turn out to be a good thing. Those races with more of it tend to have a higher IQ. The Neanderthals may have been tougher and smarter than given credit for.

This becomes an interesting supporting detail for racial differences having been spawned in part by inter-species breeding, in addition to a small population isolated for thousands of years of inbreeding after the Mount Tuba eruption.

Question: If you take two different species, but very similar, and breed them together, they will produce a hybrid species.

HOWEVER, the male of that species will be sterile. So how did these two species reproduce?

neanderthals DNA was spread probably the old fashioned way...

Just my guess....

So, if our ancestors interbred with Neanderthals, it means, biologically, that we are the same species.

The Neanderthal gave us higher IQ or a more "positive forward " Aggression.
Either way it is clear now, the so called top nations all have Neanderthal genes. (~ range 2% to 4%)
