Another reason for some to start ranking people.....ranked by the least or most neanderthal DNA. A new racism based on DNA differences. Are we brothers or what?

The idea is that the presence of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes supposedly indicate neanderthal ancestry because they supposedly aren't present in remains in Africa but are in Europe and Asia (where many neanderthals are, and the neanderthals have that gene).

But it turns out that many African and Middle Eastern remains also have the HLA gene with variants and date back to pre-migration. Thus, the presence of the HLA in both humans and neanderthals are back to being: "so what? One Creator created everything anyway so there's liable to be some common traits among much of His design." (my words)

For me details: https://reasons.org/explore/publications/reasons-newsletter/did-humans-and-neanderthals-interbreed
