I haven't been following this topic since it first gained mainstream attention so I could very well be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they're arguing that the 1% - 4% DNA is actually the common ancestor of both Neanderthalensis and us, and not specifically Neanderthal dna since there wouldn't have been enough interbreeding (or even evidence of it) to support the hybridization theory.
I'm pretty sure scientists don't even really classify Neanderthals as all that different from Homo-Sapien since, again, it's theorized that Homo-Sapien evolved from Neanderthals (in fact, I'm pretty sure that Neanderthals taxonomy is 'Homo-Sapiens-Neanderthalensis).00 Reply

+1 yIf I'm not mistaken a lot of us have Neanderthal genes. But that doesn't mean we're directly descended from Neanderthals. There was just some inter-species sex going on back when Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis encountered each other. The Neanderthals lost out of course.

Well, they may not have been particularly white until then.
Anonymous(36-45)+1 yI saw some research that all whites decended from neanderthal man and blacks don't very interesting in fact.
It was once thought that all humans came from neanderthal man but that was proven to be untrue.10 Reply
+1 yAll humans are actually. In fact, the first homo sapian was black, which - guess what - descended from cavemen.

Asker+1 yYeah but black folks are pure homo saipen while white folks ancestors bred with neanderthals

+1 yEveryone has like 1-2% Neaderthal genes at most. Altogether, worldwide, there's about 40% of a complete Neanderthal genome that has been recognized by scientists.

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yno homo sapiens are cavemen as well and neanderthals only make up a small percentage of the modern day population. and by that i mean we are all homo sapiens but some interbreeded and so some modern day humans have like 1% neanderthal dna present.

+1 yWe have some Neanderthal DNA, yep.
A brutal cold climate somehow made for smarter people on average (all the morons died off, see Game of Thrones) and amazingly gorgeous women.14 Reply
Asker+1 yThe neanderthals were better suited to cold climates and yet they died out.
- +1 y
Ah, but hybrids re always better than either. See hybrid vigor.
Asker+1 yBut the neanderthal was better suited to cold conditions than even todays Eskimo. Yes I know Eskimos or innuits were not around back then.
- +1 y
whatever the combo, it made us have gorgeous women and people who are pretty smart. Asians (Chinese/Japanese type asians) have a slightly higher IQ than us but less creativity... and caucasians on average score a lot higher than hispanics or blacks or indians. Warmer climates, like Africa or South America, made it easier for stupidheads to survive. In Europe and such, only smarter people survived.
+1 yActuelly all humans are a mix of different homonoid species. So everybody has some Neandertaler genes.

Do you think homo sapiens suddenly appeard on earth? They developed from diffrent hominids. Humans all over the world just have diffrent genoms of diffrents hominids. Africa is no exception.

Actually thats more correct than you realize, while you still share the same evolutionary line as I, There wasn't the interbreeding that was prevelant in Europe and asia
My family line comes from Ireland and Scotland, so I'm sure I've got some in me.

Opinion Owner+1 yHighest percentage of identifiable Neanderthal DNA was found in a population in central Asia that the researchers would not specifically identify.

I guess this is the kind of behaviour people are referencing when the make the claim that poc can be racist.

Why the downvote its fucking true,
Asians and white people have about 1-4 percent neanderthal DNA, our ancestors interbred
