I’m doing a lot of genealogical research during the COVID shutdown. It seems a lot of my female ancestors in Germany must have had Neanderthal genes — 10 to 15 births was not uncommon. I’m in awe of what those people did.

Having at least one child seems to have run in my family as far back as I've found records. :^) One of my dad's lines had enormous family sizes, all the way back to the late 15th century, which suggests that anyone of that surname is probably my relative. :^) Oh, and Neandertal.

I had my DNA done, and found I'mt 35% Germanic Empire. I never knew I had German ancestors until then. I'm also 59% English, Wales, and Northwestern Europe. The rest is 2% Sweden, 2% Norway, and 2% Ireland and Scotland. Would it be safe to assume there Neaderthal genes there?

I've watched Archaeologist Josh Gates for years. He used to be on the Sci-Fi Channel but now airs on Discovery...the show Expedition Unknown. He had his DNA done, and found he had Neanderthal DNA.

Even now, traditional Catholics of Irish and German extraction (especially Irish wife with German husband) routinely are good for a ten to a dozen children in this country.

I wonder if anyone is doing Neanderthal research with regard to covid, on relative capacity to hold on to Vitamin C and D3 or zinc stores when subjected to illness?
