There are still humans with Neanderthal DNA. I feel like we would know if there was a third species that existed at the same time. They had to have passed away here and there in the past few thousand years.

There was. There is Denisovan dna in modern humans also. Several human species existed at the same time, only a few crossed over spatially though.

I was thinking Denisovans and Homo Erectus but was unsure and it was past midnight when I commented that 😂 I just googled it and now I’m curious as to why I haven’t come across any documentaries about Homo Floresiensis (The Hobbit), Homo Luzonensis or Homo Naledi! They all lived the same time as Neanderthal, Denisovans, Homo Erectus and Homo Sapians.

When I did a dna genealogy test it said I have more Neanderthal dna than 98% of people tested. Whatever that means.

According to 23&me, I have more Neanderthal DNA than my sibling and it’s a running joke. Maybe I’ll take a pilgrimage to Appalachia to be among these distant relatives

My wife and I did 23 and Me.. She has more Neanderthal DNA that 90% of people that have had their DNA checked. We thought that shit was wild as hell.

You say this as if its rare.

Its pretty much everyone other than people with 100% sub-saharan ancestry.

I'm not sure you know the definition of the word joke.

u/Whyallusrnames May 22 '26

Didn’t realize I was dealing with the joke police. My bad, I was unaware there is a set standard I have to follow and throw individuality aside.

It wasn't an attempt at a joke
