so would you take the test? do you care?
how would you feel about it if you were found to have a lot?
would it bother you? or would be like it?

I can imagine there are plenty of people who would misinterpret the information and fervently deny that they were 'part caveman' and take offence.

and here says - "It will be funny to watch Neanderthal heritage become a touchpoint in the white supremacy movement, which I think is bound to happen. Funny, and ironic, because those nitwits live up to the classic stereotype of the dumb Neanderthal better than any other modern group. But mark my words, they will embrace it as a "superior" heritage."

i think itd be rather cool haha

Looking round some of the kids I've taught, I've always been convinced Neanderthalers survived especially in the wild hills around Burnley.

I'm a neanderthal man
You're a neanderthal girl

In this neanderthal world

Why care? We don't have to go much further back and we're all from the same stock.

Well considering that most of us are 97% the same as an onion I'd say this is irrelevant. It's a string of 4 different molecules in whatever order For Funks Sake!

i dont care.. but i can guarantee there are people who will care and will not think it is irrelevant ... for instance the scientists etc that produced the report , obviously have an interest...

Considering I've traced my family back over 350 years and always been around York, there's a strong possibility I'm a Viking. But I don't use it as an excuse to go raping and pillaging.

We're 97% the same as an onion?

I thought they'd done these tests for ages, I remember they did it on Time Team a long while ago and found that people's DNA matched people from way back.
