That would mean that black peoples DNA is up to 4% different than all other races...
Am I missing something? I don't know jack about this subject.
You're asking the wrong guy. Whatever you know, I'm sure dwarfs what I know. Plus, the story itself, when it says...
"Those of us who live outside Africa carry a little Neanderthal DNA in us," Pääbo said.The scientists compared the genome sequences for European, Asian and Africans against the Neanderthal, and found that humans outside Africa show traces.
He seems to be implying that people who live inside Africa carry more Neanderthal DNA, than those that live outside Africa, which is then contradicted in the very next paragraph. Doesn't make sense.
