Along these lines, as a wild speculation, I might think I had some
neanderthal genes. I have very heavy bones, to the point that I have
a hard time swimming. Barely buoyant when I have put on a few
pounds, I positively sink if I have been dieting. Could this be
some distant neanderthal characteristic? My ancestors are northern
European.
