Why am I Neanderthal?
According to National Geographic, everyone living outside of Africa today has a small amount of caveman in them. The genetic makeup of nearly everyone born outside the dark Continent includes 1 to 2 percent DNA from Neanderthals, so named when bones were found in Germany’s Neander Valley in 1856. According to Smithsonian Magazine, these Neanderthals likely made tools, used fire, buried their dead, cared for their sick and injured, and probably had some facility for language.
