Pendant voice: actually this just map out how our inherited Neanderthal DNA got shaped by pathogenic pressures. Most people w ancestry in Eurasia had common Neanderthal ancestors. It’s question of how much that DNA was RETAINED
Neanderthal, Denisovans and other ancient humans had lived hundreds of thousands of years in Eurasia before Homo Sapiens arrived frm Africa. They have better adapted immune system to very different pathogenic environment in Eurasia. We retained what’s useful to us.
That’s why further away frm Africa, we more likely to retain immune response DNA frm those ancient humans once roamed Eurasia.
But the actual hanky-panky btw our Homo Sapien and ancient human ancestors prbly happened in few places, then DNA spread in the population bc useful
Taking off pendant hat, back to shitposting
