That is a new one Domingo. To opine that Europeans may
have Neanderthal genes is a racist plot by Europeans to avoid
admitting that we all came from Africa. Of course your logic
is not only silly, but down right foolish. No matter if
Europeans have Neanderthal genes, which I think likely, the
ansestor of Neanderthal most certainly came from Africa.
So much for your simple minded theory. P.S. Don't forget
the prozac before your next post!!!!
