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.

THe Ancestry DNA test doesn't (or at least didn't) give that info, but there were links to other research projects -- I checked out an Ashkenazi project, and an archaic DNA project (just uploaded the raw file, which can and definitely should be d/led from Ancestry), the former confirmed an old family tradition and the other was, wow, surprising. The main results from Ancestry conformed to the paperwork. :^)
