"If you have a “RED GENE” freckles, light skin, reddish hair, that is a sign.
High intelligence is also a Neanderthal trait. The Neanderthals had large craniums and therefore more brains. They survived through the Ice Ages which required the ability to adapt to hunger and to be able to kill large animals. This meant they had good skills in team work."
From a combination of old and new evidence, it appears that at last we have a satisfactory answer to the age-old question of ‘What Happened to the Neanderthals?’. If the current reasoning is correct, their descendants are still with us, and we call them the Basques.
Robert J Sawyer has recently published his book “Hominids” [2], a fictional account of an interaction between Sapiens humans and Neanderthals, but drawing on the latest scientific research about Neanderthals.
This was carefully sequenced and then a check made of the corresponding mitochondrial DNA from 1,600 modern humans: Native Canadians, Polynesians. Australians, Africans, Asians, and Europeans. Every one of those 1,600 people had at least 371 nucleotides out of those 379 the same; the maximum deviation was just 8 nucleotides.
But the Neanderthal DNA had an average of only 352 nucleotides in common with the modern specimens; it deviated by 27 nucleotides. It was concluded that Homo sapiens and Neanderthals must have diverged from each other between 550,000 and 690,000 years ago for their DNA to be so different.
In contrast, all modern humans probably shared a common ancestor 150,000 or 200,000 years in the past. It was concluded that Neanderthals were probably a fully separate species from modern humans, not just a subspecies: Homo neanderthalensis, not Homo sapiens neanderthalensis.
Looking now at the evidence for the theory that the Basques are descended principally from Neanderthals, everything suddenly falls into place, and the supposition becomes almost self-evident.
Location: The ‘home country’ of the Neanderthals is well known to have been western Europe. One source says that they “dominated this area for at least a quarter of a million years”. Many of the best Neanderthal specimens have originated from the Iberian Peninsular. The Basque Country, lying on the western side of the Pyrenees and on the border between Spain and France, fits in neatly with this location.
Note: According to more recent sources Neanderthal originated in the Tigris area, and have been found in Israel. This is not to say a lot of them didn't settle in, or were pushed into the Basque area.[11]
The Basques are well-known to have distinctive body characteristics. Kurlansky says “Ample evidence exists that the Basques are a physically distinct group. There is a Basque type with a long straight nose, thick eyebrows, strong chin, and long earlobes” [1].
Basque skulls tend to be built on a different pattern. In the early 1880s, a researcher reported “Someone gave me a Basque body and I dissected it, and I assert that the head was not built like that of other men” [1].
These qualitative differences are indicative, but quantitative evidence, with presence or absence of features, or items being present in different numbers, has greater weight in deciding whether specimens belong to the same or different species. Powerful quantitative evidence comes from a consideration of blood factors.
Human blood is classified according to various parameters, the most important of which are ABO and Rhesus characteristics. In ABO, blood may contain the ‘A’ factor (giving A-group blood), the ‘B’ factor (B-group), both ‘A’ and ‘B’ (AB blood), or neither (O blood). The A and B factors act like antibodies, and if blood containing one or both of them is transferred to a person whose blood does not already contain them, adverse reactions occur. Group O blood contains neither antibody and can typically be transferred without reaction to any recipient.
Some 55% of Basques have Group O blood, one of the highest percentages in the world [3].
Even stronger evidence comes from the Rhesus factor, discovered only in 1940. The blood of most humans (and, apparently, all other primates [6]) contains this factor, and is called Rhesus-positive or Rh+ blood. Blood lacking this factor is called Rhesus-negative.
The Basques are well-known to have the highest percentage (around 33%) of Rhesus-negative blood of any human population [2], and so are regarded as the original source of this factor. In the United States, some 15% of the ‘European’ population are Rh-negative, while the percentage in the ‘Asian’ and ‘Black’ population is much less than this.

Possession of Rh-negative blood can be a major disadvantage for a human population. A Rh-negative woman who conceives a Rh-positive child with a Rh-positive man will typically bear her first child without special problems. However, because of intermingling of fluids between mother and foetus, the first pregnancy builds up antibodies to Rh+ blood in the woman which typically attack the blood of her subsequent Rh+ children, causing them to miscarry, be stillborn, or die shortly after birth (infant haemolytic disease [6]).
Note: If Rh negatives breed only with each other, there are no problems at all.[12]
The scenario so far then is this. Around 600,000 years ago, in southern Europe, a species of man separated off from the ancestral line, and we call this species Homo neanderthalensis, the ‘N-people’. The blood of this species contained none of the factors A, B, or Rh.

Note: Neanderthals evolved and came out of Tigris area, not Africa.[11]
Much later, possibly around 200,000 years ago in Africa, the main human line had picked up the A, B, and Rh factors (possibly from other primates, the Rhesus factor is named after the Rhesus monkey or macaque), and by then could be classed as Homo sapiens, the ‘S-people’.
In competition between related species or races, antibodies in their blood are a powerful genetic advantage for those who possess them when competing against those who don’t. History has many examples of European settlers who quite unintentionally won out against native populations because the latter had no antibodies against diseases such as measles which the Europeans brought with them.
In the present scenario, a woman of the N-people (Basque, Rh-) who partnered with a man of the S-people (non-Basque, Rh+) would be likely to bear no more than a single child of the partnership. ‘Mixed marriages’ in humans are not usually genetically disadvantageous, but in this case they would be. The effect would be a continuing reduction in the N-people population as ‘mixed’ couples produced only a single child, half the nominal population-maintenance rate.

Rh Negative Blood & HLA B27
By Matt McGrath
In the human immune system, the HLA (human leucocyte antigen) family of genes plays an important role in defending against foreign invaders such as viruses.
The authors say that the origins of some HLA class 1 genes are proof that our ancient relatives interbred with Neanderthals and Denisovans for a period.
“Getting these genes by mating would have given an advantage to populations that acquired them.”
At least one variety of HLA gene occurs frequently in present day populations from West Asia, but is rare in Africans.

At least one variety of HLA gene occurs frequently in present day populations from West Asia, but is rare in Africans.
“The HLA genes that the Neanderthals and Denisovans had, had been adapted to life in Europe and Asia for several hundred thousand years, whereas the recent migrants from Africa wouldn't have had these genes,” said study leader Peter Parham from Stanford University School of Medicine in California.
“So getting these genes by mating would have given an advantage to populations that acquired them.”
Dr. Pinna says:
The HLA gene which provides our white cells in our immune system with the ability to recognize viruses and perhaps cancers was a gift from our Neanderthal ancestors.
Neanderthals interbred with Europeans and Chinese but not with Africans. This is very important from a medical point of view.
Since the HLA (HUMAN LEUKOCYTE (WHITE CELL) ANTIGEN) protects against viruses, we find the most deadly viruses in Africa. For example, the famous EBOLA virus.Why? Because Africans do not have the ability to defend against and eradicate this virus. The viruses found in Europe and China are rather mild, such as mumps, measles and German measles.Also, Africans have less defenses against cancers caused by viruses. Here is a report from the Guardian, U.K:
“The difference is that a disproportionate number of cancers in Africa are caused by infections, such as the hepatitis viruses (B and C), which cause liver cancer, or the human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes 98% of cervical cancers. The worldwide average for infection-related cancers is about 22%; in Africa, the figures are much higher: 40% of cases in women and 30% in men.”
European and Chinese interbreeding with Neanderthals was a gift from God. Not only did it give us red hair and big brains, but also a way to fight viral infection.

HLA B27 & Arthritis
Arthritis is a term for any of more than one hundred diseases that produce swelling in a joint, accompanied by pain and stiffness. The most common forms of arthritis are osteoarthritis (the degeneration of a joint) and rheumatoid arthritis ("the great crippler," inflammation of a joint that erodes bone and cartilage). Other forms include ankylosing spondylitis (inflammation of spinal joints, mainly affecting young men), infectious arthritis (caused by invading microorganisms), and chronic Lyme arthritis (which appears in some people who contract Lyme disease). Lupus, an autoimmune disease, also has elements of arthritis, with painful and often swollen joints.
Neanderthal skeletons show signs of arthritis, as do Egyptian mummies. Ancient Greek and Roman physicians wrote detailed descriptions of arthritic conditions and methods of treatment. In fourteenth- and fifteenth-century Europe, gout became common among members of the upper classes, and an outbreak of rheumatoid arthritis swept through the masses of Europe during the Industrial Revolution. By the early nineteenth century, rheumatoid arthritis had been recognized as a distinct condition, separate from gout. Augustin Landre-Beauvais gave rheumatoid arthritis its first complete clinical description in 1800; in 1859 Alfred Garrod (1819-1907) distinguished gout by the presence of uric acid.
While the disease had been known for centuries, its cause remained unknown. Some thought arthritis was the result of an infectious disease, such as gonorrhea or tuberculosis. In 1900 twophysicians, Frederick J. Poynton (1869-1943) and A. Paine, discovered a bacteria in a group of children afflicted with rheumatism. They speculated that rheumatic arthritis could be the result of an immune reaction to an invading microorganism. In 1940 researchers found an rheumatoid factor, an antibody-like substance, in the blood of arthritis patients. Further study showed that rheumatic infections were caused by a group A streptococcus, so the rheumatoid factor was indeed an immune system response to that bacteria. Current research focuses on the relationship between specific genetically coded HLA molecules (an element of the immune system) and the occurrence of various types of arthritis. For example, the HLA-B27 molecule is common in people with ankylosing spondylitis.[14]

HLA B27 & CCR5-Δ32
Note: HLA-B27 is also sometimes found in those who are Rh negative recessive.
The allele has a negative effect upon T cell function, but appears to protect against smallpox and HIV. Yersinia pestis (the bubonic plague bacterium) was demonstrated in the laboratory not to associate with CCR5. Individuals with the Δ32 allele of CCR5 are healthy, suggesting that CCR5 is largely dispensable. However, CCR5 apparently plays a role in mediating resistance to West Nile virus infection in humans, as CCR5-Δ32 individuals have shown to be disproportionately at higher risk of West Nile virus in studies, indicating that not all of the functions of CCR5 may be compensated by other receptors.
While CCR5 has multiple variants in its coding region, the deletion of a 32-bp segment results in a nonfunctional receptor, thus preventing HIV R5 entry; two copies of this allele provide strong protection against HIV infection. This allele is found in 5–14% of Europeans but is rare in Africans and Asians.
HLA-B27 is an inherited gene marker that is associated with a number of related rheumatic diseases. They share in common, certain features like spinal and peripheral arthritis, skin and GI disorders, anterior chamber eye disease, psoriasis like skin lesions, as well as inflammation and joint pain. This gene is found with highest prevalence in patients with ankylosing spondylosis, reactive arthritis, and patients with the combination of peripheral arthritis and either psoriasis or inflammatory bowel disease.
The HLA-B27 Genetic Marker is said to have protective properties that guard against the progression of HIV. It is said, that people with this gene do not have the right proteins for the HIV virus to bind with. The HLA-B27 Marker is most often found in people with O- Blood.
CCR5-Δ32 is a deletion mutation of a gene that has a specific impact on the function of T cells. At least one copy of CCR5-Δ32 is found in about (5-14%) of people of Northern European and in those of Northern European descent. There also is a small minority (1%) with the same mutation amongst Southern Europeans or Balkan Peninsula. It has been hypothesized that this allele was favored by natural selection during the Black Death for Northern Europeans.

Neanderthals have been found with skeletal deformities known to be caused be ankylosing spondylitis and Arthritis.[13]
CONCLUSION
Neanderthals carried HLA-B27 which offers protection from certain diseases, however it also causes autoimmune diseases. CCR5-Δ32 deletion is also linked in with O negative blood. They originate in Neanderthals and are not often found in Africa. If you have Rh negative blood, you are blessed with some of the genes from our most ancient families.

does all HLA-B27 come from Neanderthals and/or Denisovans?
ReplyDeleteThanks for this interesting article. I can certainly testify to RH negs and hypothyroidism. Both my mother and I are RH negs and have had Hashimotos/Hypothyroidism.
ReplyDeleteOur family have lots of issues with autoimmune illnesses as well. Great work!!
i am also rh neg and i also have hashimoto's, but i have noticed in my studies that every one who has it also has had the rhogam shot, i believe the rhogam shot is responsible somehow for our immune system failure, just a feeling
DeleteMy family is all A or O-, as well as my three children and hubby...I am A- personally. We all have autoimmune issues, psoriasis, and thyroid issues! Lupus and RA are a biggie with us...Also, light blue or green eyes and golden hair :) My bp is always 85/60! I have a higher than average IQ and am VERY in tune with others vibes.....This is all amazing to me!!! When I was young, I was psychic, but as I got older, I am less in tune with that side of me. I was always told my family comes from Czech Rep. and Scott/Irish, but who knows.....
DeleteGina stevens ye maybe but i know how you can cure your Immune illness and im O + you just need to stop eating Flour and consum Cowmilk Products and eat almost no red meat or Chicken meat. after that you will Cure the Immunillness after a while and Some nuts have High Selenium like Paranut
DeleteI think you are onto something Nina Trinkl. I'm O- and I have issues with gluten. My half brother has lupus, but I don't know what his blood type is. Our mother is O+.
DeleteI know a 17 year old with Hashimotos diagnosed at 13 . so she has not received a rhogam shot.
DeleteGreat article. Im rh- and have below average body temp and blood pressure, higherIQ and struggle with arthritis. My son is four and has red hair and blue eyes. Hes already reading and writing on a second grade level.
ReplyDeleteThis was very informative, thanks.
I am also rh neg and have hashimoto's..but i have noticed in my studies, that every woman who has it, has had the rhogam shot, i believe the rhogam shot is responsible somehow for our immune system failure
DeleteRH-B, GREEN EYES BRONZE BROWN HAIR, FRENCH CANADIAN & AMERICAN INDIAN, HAVE HI IQ, PICK UP ON PHYSIC ANOMALIES AND INCREASED SENSITIVITY TO PLACES AND THINGS, STRENGTH PHYSICALLY OTHER FEMALES IN MY FAMILY OR AROUND ME DO NOT POSSESS, BLESSED TO BE ALSO UNIQUE LIKE ALL OF YOU��⭐��

ReplyDeleteHello Jeanine, sorry to hear about your suffering. It seems a lot of people are having a lot of success by having a grain and starch free diet, I am on it myself, and where as I do have Arthritis as well, the pain in the AS effected areas is much better.
DeleteI do much better on a grain free and refined sugar free diet .. so very hard to maintain though.. When I am good on my diet i lose edema right away my rings get loose overnight almost. I love bread. and pasta. I have heard that this is due to lectins and that nightshades are also high in lectins.. so potatoes tomatoes and eggplant
DeleteI echo the success in managing ankylosing spondylitis by changing my diet. No starch and no dairy is a good "elimination diet" to start with. http://www.spondymonster.com/the-as-protocol/
ReplyDeleteThank you for this article. This is going to help many. My daughter had Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis since childhood. It went into remission at puberty only to come back with a flare up in her elbow that caused her death at 38 years old. Three trips to the ER in one day and the doctors missed the diagnosis twice and sent her home with pain meds. She returned the third time but it was to late to save her, the bacterial infection in her elbow was diagnosed at autopsy as Strep A. She left two young children and her parents. I hope this new information will save others.
ReplyDeleteThank you, this article is superb. I have been diagnosed with AS this week by the locating of the HLA - B27 gene. Looking at the diet arrangements which promises a help with the inflammatory pain says it all: MEAT, MEAT, MEAT.....no potatoes, no rice, no pulses. I carry both, CCR5 Delta32 and the HLA-B27. I am tall, blond, blue eyed and I can crush skulls with my jaws.....so me living from bread and starch was a very bad idea.... Time to get back to the natural diet for all those with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS or Bechterew). Again, thank you. RDM
ReplyDeleteI get it, but today, the meat is loaded with crap we cannot eat and remain healthy. Unless you farm your own grass fed without pesticides and such. Factory farm (grocery store meat, chicken and pork) is a chemical nightmare, causing many of the diseases we are combating today.
Deleteoh jeesh no! please no meat! not only that's not good for RhNegs, but it's a horrid habit! Meat has animal inflammatory particles that activate your immune system that is already overactive in RhNegs!
DeleteI don't know where you got your information from Bjorn, but it isn't correct, O negatives especially need meat, only A types can survive ok without meat. We are from Neanderthals ffs! Do you think Neanderthals were vegetarian??? Of course not, the best diet is that of our ancestors, grass fed organic meat and veg.
DeleteMy mother my daughter and myself are RHONDA negative the odd thing is that we are African American explain that!
ReplyDeleteA lot of African Americans in this country are about 30-35% of Northern European extraction.
DeleteSimple. The vast majority of American blacks have substantial genetic contributions from whites.
ReplyDeleteSimple answer. The vast majority of American "blacks" have genetic admixture with whites. Your Rh negative genetics came from some white ancestor. That's why.
ReplyDeleteMy blood type is O- negative, and I am an American female of African ancestral origins(90%). I'm pretty sure that I don't have any Neanderthal DNA (I've had my genome mapped), so when I read this post, I'm feeling a little like an outcast! Just around 7% of African-Americans in the United States are believed to be O-neg. How do we fit in to the theories about the origins of this blood type?
DeleteMy blood type is O- negative, and I am an American female of African ancestral descent(90%).

Just around 7% of African-Americans in the United States are believed to be O-neg, and dare say all African-Americans have genetic admixture, just as the majority of American whites do! I do have several of the mental, physical and intellectual "characteristics" of this blood type, but I cannot attribute this to some distant Neanderthal ancestor... How does this mesh with the theories about the Neanderthal origins of this blood type?
DeleteYou do have Neanderthal ancestors, or you wouldn't have O neg blood. Only a tiny amount of humans left are 100% homo erectus and they are in Sub Saharan Africa, not the USA, you are well and truly mixed.
DeleteBerbers are out of Africa and also very high in RH-
DeleteA fantastic site I wish that I had found it years ago. I knew that something was wrong at the age of 22 BUT my AS was not confirmed until I was 58! I have recently concluded that I am also a celiac sufferer. Next week I am going to have more pain jabs in my back the last lot were three years ago! Having read the above AND coincidentally I am studying the Neanderthals which has shown me that I have not been complaining nothing and that at last doctors are beginning to understand US!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic site I wish I had found it earlier. I had suffered with back pain since I was 22 my AS was not diagnosed until I was 58 I am now 76! My spine is now very similar to 14 cotton reels glued end to end! This is on top of; a brain tumor and bladder cancer. I lost my right eye in a car crash the night before my 20th birthday! BUT life is fun don't let it beat you!!
ReplyDeleteOK it's 2015 and in the last 2 years they did more genetic research which proves that the average non African has 1-3% Neanderthal DNA... Of that 1-3% it actually is responsible for 70% of the DNA responsible for your physical appearance.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about the Basques you mentioned as Neanderthal had flater heads and a less pronounced chin ...also were much then the homosapian...and had large rib cage...wide shoulders...and shorter legs. Also the highest average of Neanderthal DNA was found in eastern Asians and native Americans.
Great article though. Every white or non African savannah persons are descendants of the Neanderthal though.
I have one of the widest ribcages and shoulders of anyone I have ever seen... I am O- blood type.. Have shorter then average legs...yet I am 6'5" all torso. I'm Caucasian with lower body temperature then normal 96.7. My pulse rate is only 48 and have been tested and they said i am just healthy. Blood pressure is average but I am almost never sick, I go years without missing a day of work..not because I push through it...but because I'm not sick.
So I thank the Neanderthal for that.
PS... The Neanderthal had a brain at least as large as homosapian... Not always larger...though some believe them to be larger for more control over a large muscular body.
Obviously the homosapian and Neanderthal made a good combination ...though only about 2% if that lives on in the average human...
Should the homosapian be classified into a new category for those with mixed species blood ?
Talking about mixed rh blood...if the make was a negative rh blood type...he could spread his blood type with anyone... The female with the negative could only have 1 positive child...but could continue getting pregnant until a negative blood type was born...wouldn't it be more likely then that the body recognizing it as a virus would be a way to help spread the negative blood type vrs it a reason for it to become extinct.... Perhaps it is supposed to happen and giving out those rh shots is preventing further evolution of the human race...or perhaps causing the human race to be at risk for a future biological attack by nature on rh+ bloods.
OK I have rambled on enough... One last thing...you should check out the blood type diets...what each blood type should eat for better digestion ...it seems to really work great at solving a ton of problems in the body especially with weight and diseases
WOW! this was fascinating to me. My mother,(B neg) father,(O neg) 2 brothers, self, and my two children are all B neg. My mother and children and I were reading words and sentences, story books, at age four.MY father was an engineer and worked with nuclear physicists on power plants... Weall have IQ's over 125 my son 140. His father is also 140+ and rh neg. Arthritis is in our family
ReplyDeleteand mother had auto-immune disorder.My hearing and sight are phenomenal, even at over 65.So is the hearing of my brothers and the vision of the blue eyed one is similarly very acute for our age. We all need large size hats and we have larger than average eyes. We have longer torsos in relation to our legs. This is also the case for my children's father. All except for mother and one brother have blue eyes...funny thing is that each of them has two blue eyed children! my dad and other brother have red beards and freckles and my flaxen haired grand-daughter with rh neg blood, lots of freckles and huge blue eyes is pre-med in the Neuro-Science dept. of a major research university in New England.Her younger blue eyed brother O neg, did high school math in 7th grade, is going to take college courses next Fall as a 10th grader, he has 4.0 GPA including third year Mandarin class (started in middle school) We are all proud of documented Native American and, on mother's side Jewish lineage way back in 1700's.....NO cancer, other than skin, for the red beards.
Yes, reading this it sounds so bragging....however, facts are facts.Myself, I am a college drop-out,but my children's RH neg father was Phi Beta Kappa U.C.Berkeley had a fellowship in graduate school there.Our children both college graduates and professionals in health related fields.
Does HLA B 57 come from RH- Blood or can anyone have that?
ReplyDeleteI have a question for anyone who may know a typical blood test will tell you if A or B antigens preset ad it will tell you if RH D antigen is present but it will not tell you if if you have one or two? So for instance if you are A-/O+ you will come out as A+. And my question is if you are A/O Genotype A+ but not sure of the O and you get tested for HLA B 57 And CCR-32 5 and you do not have them then that means you do not carry O- but O+? Thanks. I have A+ blood and am HLA B 27- but I do not know if I have ccr32_5?
ReplyDeleteIm sorry i was tested HLA B 27 Negative and A+ just like dad and his dad and i think great grand dad as well.But dads mother was O+ not sure if she was a carrier? And my mother is O+/O- so when i get tested for CCR32-5 and HLA B 57 if they both come back negative than more than likely i carry my mothers O+ blood recessively? I will know soon.
ReplyDeleteHi my name is Sofia I'm Hungarian both of my parents were Hungarian I'm a negative blood type turning 40 next month I was born anemic my mom was only 16 when I was born I don't think she took prenatal vitamins (poverty) regardless of anemia as a child I was very strong both physically and mentally I consider myself intelligent as a child I train myself my memory to start a mental process until I ended up a point I disapproved and from that point up I traced the taught process back to the origin starting point,I used my collective subconscions(Jung) to develop my own massage therapy technic between the age of 9-15 later I identified what I was doing related to acupuncture(p.s. acupuncture works everyone needs to try it) I'm medium sometime I know what scene will welcome me in a store before I enter my perception to details is extremely sharp I notice things others normally wouldn't as fast it's confusing because you don't know is it your physic ability or something else. Medical conditions :I don't get along with birth control pills I'm extremely fertile know one seems to know where uterine fibroids come from sever constipation sushi helps I taught myself to speak English learn to cook 4 cuisines (I don't have parents ) immigrated to the Us 16 years ago never took a flu shot very rarely got sick and only for a short period of time gynecological problems are oblivious working on it to fix it my reddish brown hair I contributed to my zodiac sign I change my eye color it never the same sometime dark blue/gray but when the green kicks in it makes it look like muddy my eye color change every Frickin day I'm not required to wear glasses but I do because I want to I have astigmatism 170 cm 5.7 inch tall I have curves very proportionate C.G. Jung described me the archetype of absolute feminine.
ReplyDeleteHaven't been tested but some factors indicate that I have some Neanderthal DNA such as a small bump on the back of my head, extra space behind my wisdom teeth, a pair of cervical ribs, and I have more facial hair than is normal. I've been tested as A+ but some tests say I'm O, depends on the arm.
ReplyDeleteI have a proposition for all rhesus negative blood types since we can not be cloned and scientist doesn't know how we are duplicated we should be included into an endangered species if the information is correct that only 15% of earth's population have it we are technically an endangered species. Earlier I stated I was anemic and just come Across an overlooked hormone called HEPCIDIN.there is an amazing description about this condition on a website called blood.
ReplyDeleteGuys we can't just talk about the neanderthals because denisovians are also part of Europe I believe DNA sequencing is very very different in the USA for financial reasons than in Europe the best and personally admire the Karolinska institute in Stockholm Sweden for DNA sequencing and complete genome mapping here in the USA is a trillion dollar business I wouldn't trust it.
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone, I'm RH negative, have type O Blood, of French Basque Ancestry according to Gedmatch.. I'm also in the 99th percentile for Neanderthal variants on 23 and me. I am Neanderthal, Clan of the Cave Bear... lol
