Explain this...
https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/underst...erthaldna/
"The percentage of Neanderthal DNA in modern humans is zero or close to zero in people from African populations, and is about 1 to 2 percent in people of European or Asian background."
It isn't hard. The vast majority of the DNA inherited from Neanderthals is the same as what we already have.
I'm going to make a couple assumptions here for the sake of making the math easy.
Assumption 1: Humans (and Neanderthals) split from chimps about 5 million years ago.
Assumption 2: Humans and Neanderthals split 500 thousand years ago.
So if the difference between humans and chimps is 1.2% the difference between humans and Neanderthals is about 1/10th of that or 0.12%. So if a human inherited 2% of their DNA from Neanderthals they got about 128 million pairs, but only about 153,600 of those pairs are different from human DNA. That's .002% of your 6.4 billion base pairs only accounting for about 1/5th of the difference between the populations discussed in my previous post.
