According to 21andMe, I am a whopping 3% neanderthal.

Don't know why I felt compelled to share this here, alas, there you go.

That's 23andme. I also have a high Neanderthal percentage.

Wikipedia says modern humans have somewhere between 1% and 4%.

Right on, something seemed off in the name but I just didn't look it up. Should have known too, 23x2=56.
Most Asian and European people have neanderthal DNA.
