Did you know some groups have more Neanderthal DNA than other groups?

[Anonymous]

Those whose ancestry originates in Asia have roughly 2% Neanderthal DNA. Those from Europe have roughly 1.5% Neanderthal DNA. Those who originate in Africa have roughly.2% (1/10th of Asian) Neanderthal DNA. It's interesting because after leaving Africa, the ancestors of those who we call "Asian" and "White" mated with Neanderthals much more frequently because of the higher Neanderthal populations in these regions.

cool that would explain in fifa, european players were superior to Asian players! they Europe, only lost to each other! but consistently won almost every mixed game. americans were born from europeans so we were #1 in mixed games. european won every mixed game! except 2 this year. we scored 2 goals against a Europe team winning bosnia despite european, that score was also more than germany loss. and total goals is a factor used in fifa ranking.

in mixed games we are #1. yay!!
