We Knew It All Along

Most People Carry Neanderthal DNA
Scientists have wrapped up a comparative study of human and Neanderthal genomes, and they've found that as much as 4 percent of most people's DNA can be traced back to the "big-brained and barrel-chested group."

    From a couple of weeks ago, an independent approach -- looking at genetic diversity within living humans rather than mucking around with Neandertal bones -- reached the same conclusion.

    Someone even mentioned it on Sadly,No!

    Primatology Ed. Confirms:

    We were going to abuse a close personal acquaintance who is stocky, barrel-chested & has a fine set of brow ridges ("Two Words: [Redacted] [Redacted]") but there are no pix available that do justice to him as a Neanderthal, so he's off the hook as empirical/photographic proof; we don't need no fancy genomes to know there was cousin sex going on.
