      Around 2% of your DNA comes from Neanderthals. If we were scared off by them, it wouldn’t have been for too long before we decided the sex was worth it.

        Only if you are of European or middle eastern descent. If you are from South east Asian descent, you are more likely to have Denisovan DNA.

        If you are from more recent African descent, you likely are straight homo sapien.
