Apparently, sub-Saharan Africans are more human than "whites" - "between 1 and 4 per cent" more. For an illustration, go to Google Images and search for "hairy back".

Neanderthals 'bred with early humans'

"The main finding is that there was gene flow from Neanderthals into the ancestors of all modern non-Africans. We do not find any evidence at all of gene flow into sub-Saharan Africans. We also do not find any evidence of gene flow in the reverse direction into Neanderthals," Dr Reich said.

"The proportion of Neanderthal ancestry in non-Africans today is between 1 and 4 per cent so it's a small but very real proportion of ancestry in non-Africans today," he added.

1. President Obama is probably more human than any previous president.

He is the best looking. :)

2. Perhaps there is envy and the fear of inferiority

at the root of white racism.

3. So cartoons depicting Neanderthal men dragging beautiful women into their caves are truthful?

And there was no genetic flow in the opposite direction? The only explanation for that is the women were raped and discarded since the offspring was not assimilated into the Neanderthal groups, yet they were in the human species who migrated out of Africa.

This is a very interesting scientific discovery.

4. It may be that an increased tendency for "rape and discard" behaviors

was transmitted genetically.

6. That could be proven if the Sub Saharan humans don't have the rape behavior

I can't say I know, but Africa does have the worst AIDs numbers among women due to rape. But there may actually be some proof otherwise, depending on what parts of Africa are studied.

7. It could be proven if Sub Saharan humans have decreased tendencies.

Measured historically, of course.

5. K&R

8. The 1 to 4 percent range is interesting.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the Neanderthalest of them all?

[VioletLake]

9. This surely must be what 4% Neanderthal looks like.

The Neanderthal Brothers:

12. Actually they are 100% Neanderthal.

No offense to our Neanderthal ancestors, of course. :)

10. I wonder---

do registered Republicans constitute between one and four percent of the world's population of "non-Africans"?

[VioletLake]

11. According to the study,

all non-Africans have small fragments of Neanderthal sequences in their DNA. How much varies between 1 and 4 percent. My guess is that registered Republicans are the 4 percenters.
