A comparison of the genomes of a Neanderthal who lived 120,000 years ago in Siberia with those from modern humans in sub-Saharan Africa has revealed insight into the migratory and interbreeding history of both species.
You inherited a small amount of DNA from your Neanderthal ancestors. Out of the 7,462 variants we tested, we found 243 variants in your DNA that trace back to the Neanderthals.
All together, your Neanderthal ancestry accounts for less than ~2 percent of your DNA.
