2.3% doesn't reflect what i'd call a merge..

So do you only merge your code when you've edited more then 50% of your lines?
Unless neanderthals were 2.3% of the population at the time they merged.

or, the populations were 50/50 and the humans were like, "let's bone the hottest 95.6% of neanderthals and kill the rest"

Other way round
