    Neanderthal content

    I got the results of my DNA testing. It says that I have a greater amount of Neanderthal than 86% of the population. It explains a lot.

    If you've done one of these tests, what's your percentage? Curious to see if there may be a trend with BBC/bass fishermen.

    Neanderthals have been on the comeback trail in recent years! I’ve not had my DNA tested but might do so just for that reason, curiosity.

    Not a huge fan of giving private entities anymore data than they already steal.

    I seen where a lot of those companies are farming out the analysis to foreign labs. Mainly Chinese companies that are joined at the hip to the Chinese communist party. They offer to do the work for very little money. Wanna guess why they do it for so little? They are collecting biological information on the world's population. Guess what they information can be used for?

    I was given a subsciption to one of thise DNA websites, and sent them a (spit) sample. At first I thought it was cute and interesting, but after a while distant relatives I never heard of started popping up.
    I thought about it for a while and then stopped going, One thing I don't need at my age is to find out I have kids somewhere that I never knew about.

    Well that explains the whole thing about "Man Caves" if we're 90% Neanderthal, we're all just going back to our roots. Also ought to qualify a guy to write in "Neanderthal" when you get asked your race on a questionnaire.

    That’s pretty cool to see. My DNA results were surprising atleast to me. Always thought I was mostly Italian with English Irish and German thrown in. My results came back mostly English, Irish, Scottish, then Italian, Norwegian, Greek and French. The cool part about Ancestry DNA is you can generate a family tree for free. I’ve been able to trace my ancestry back to the early 1600s in some cases

    I can identify with that thanks for explaining everything and getting me in touch with my Neanderthal Side maybe we can all have a great big family reunion someday?

    Mine came back only greater than 10% of the population. Apparently I have really good muscles though.

    I’ve read similar reports.

    All we had to do was look at your foreheads to realize that.
