Neanderthal DNA & You

6 Replies

After doing my DNA test i was quite surprised to find i had 2.6% Neanderthal DNA in me.

What surprised me more was health implications.

But i don't have to worry much as most in west have average of 2 - 3 % Neanderthal DNA in them.

Hi i got mine with 23andMe dna teat .. Is all very interesting AND makes me ask more questions like if neandrathal are prone to heart disease strokes given dna why they always try to blame lifestyle even tho clearly would play apart but is not full picture they paint.

I was told by family one of our ancestors was scotish pirate that i douted.

But given my DNA test and dna relatives is plausable.

Must of been the neandrathal as the defo got about.
