In my 23 and me DNA profile the following is observed: John's Neanderthal variants 319 This is more than 96% of 23andMe Customers You have more Neanderthal variants than 96% of 23andMe customers. However, your Neanderthal ancestry accounts for less than 4% of your overall DNA. 600,000 Years Ago - Neanderthals and Modern Humans Share a Common Ancestor The common ancestor of modern humans and Neanderthals is thought to be an extinct hominin named Homo heidelbergensis. The species inhabited much of Africa, Europe and probably Asia from at least 700,000 years ago until about 200,000 years ago. So, I have come to a conclusion. My ancestors had a condo in the Neander Valley of Germany and were hunters and gatherers. I am not sure what they gathered but I'll bet it was females.
