This 1996 AP file photo shows a replica of a Neanderthal man at the Neanderthal museum in Mettmann, western Germany. According to research reported in the May 2010 edition of the journal Science today, between 1 percent and 4 percent of genes in people from Europe and Asia trace back to Neanderthals. Story here.

DFO: On Facebook, Kevin Taylor of the Inlander posted the above AP photo and this comment: “Scientists find Neanderthal DNA in modern humans. Well this certainly explains my more, ahem, low-brow moments.”
Question (w/tongue firmly cheeked): Is there evidence of Neanderthal DNA in your family or among your friends?
