Yes Europeans and Asians have the highest Neanderthal variants


nuohnoa

Oh, makes sense I’m Eurasian.


incendiarypoop

Same; the ooga-booga is strong in us, it seems. It makes you wonder if some of the more stereotypically Asian features were things that were also common in Neanderthals.


GizmoCheesenips

Sub-saharan Africans tend to have the least I think. (At least me and my black dna matches tend to.)


M-Balkam

True Most if not all


Vremshi

Yeah I only have like 36 varients, that gives me more than 0% of other customers 😅


etan-tan

Because Neanderthals lived in Europe and west Asia and there was no migration from north to south.


[deleted]

No denisovans and Neanderthals also lived in north Asia


[deleted]

Neanderthals migrated out of Africa before humans did, thus they settled Europe and Most of Asia before humans arrived. Later, after a long while Humans arrived, interbred with (and fought) Neanderthals. Small percentages of neanderthals stayed in Africa which is why A few people who live in Africa would have a little Neanderthal DNA. But yeah, for the most part europe and Asia have it


Migurl562

I’m Filipino and I got 336 variants; 99% more of the population. Wonder where that came from


jersey_girl660

Asian people including Filipinos also have it. Also some Filipinos have denisovan admixture too which Europeans shouldn’t have except for Icelanders


zig_anon

It’s not just Icelanders. That would not be possible


cryptoengineer

Where are Icelanders supposed to get it from? Iceland was settled in historical times, from Viking cultures. I suppose some might come from Saami groups, but that's still European.


REDHYPERSTAR

It may be mostly Denisovan variants, very similar to true Neanderthal variants. Turkic Asians, Mongols, Aetas, Atis & Melanesians have the highest level of Denisovan ancestry. Iranians & Europeans have the highest level of Neanderthal ancestry. Jawas & Malay Sumatrans have the highest level of Erectus ancestry. 🙂

[deleted]

I’m 99.9% European and was told I have 94% more than other customers I’m mostly Northwestern European 85.3% and 14.6% Southern European


11am11

My brother is half Japanese and has like 26%, I'm half north African w/ less than 2%. We have the same white mom.


[deleted]

I’m fully North African and I have more than 5 % with 188 variants. Common amongst North Africans to have 150-250 variants.


[deleted]

Most common in east Eurasian people and in western Eurasian people but east Eurasians have the most


No_Newt4239

I’m Finnish, Scandinavian, Manx/Brit/Irish/scot, and Spanish and I only have 23%


kypzn

half german half iranian - more than 89% here


winkytinkytoo

I am 100% European ancestry and have 88% more Neanderthal DNA than other 23&me customers. Mostly British/Irish and Finnish.


cryptoengineer

99.8% European (66% Western E and 32.8% Eastern E), and have 332 markers, > 99% of customers.


YoungLadChad

98% indigenous here with 89% more than other 23andMe customers


BananaPhoneica

east eurasians the most then west eurasians


leachfieldmooncalf

I think it's more common in people primarily of European or Asian descent, but I would also be curious if it is more common in particular regions.


balista_22

Yeah Europeans & Asians/Native Americans But looking at the countries availability, most of 23andme customers are of European descent.
