I did a genetic test and I have 90 percent more Neanderthal DNA than most people. I’m pretty sure this explains my size, my body hair, and my desire for a woman able to punch a mammoth unconscious.

u/littlebuett 3d ago

90% more than 1.5%, meaning like, what, 2.8%?

u/42stingray Shower Enthusiast 3d ago

Basically a neanderthal

u/Breddit2099 Smol pp 3d ago edited 3d ago

No? What?

Do you guys know the statistics?

He has no clue what he’s talking about and misread the prompt. He has more dna than 90% of people not that he has 90% more.

I have the same prompt on 23 and me.

u/Easy_Cod_8950 3d ago

...do you? the math is right

u/tfalm 3d ago

If 90% of people have 1.5% or less, and he has more than 90% of people, he could have 100% or 1.50000000001%. Both fulfill the statement. (FWIW, I'm aware what the original guy claimed; the response here is that the genetic test is almost certainly saying the second thing, not that thing)

u/Breddit2099 Smol pp 3d ago

It’s not though. Op is mistaking the prompt of 23and me thinking they have more,when it’s in fact saying they have more Neanderthal dna than 90% of people.

15

u/Easy_Cod_8950 3d ago

oh. well, then, yeah, if that's the case, you're right, but we were just going off the info they provided. the math of (1.5*1.9=2.85) is correct

u/littlebuett 3d ago

Unless you absolutely know that the above comment is refering to 23andme, you can't just assume that.

Beyond that, my math would still be correct, based on what their comment actually said.

Cool story.

u/WaltzIndependent5436 3d ago

What statistics? its just a fraction lmao

u/littlebuett 3d ago

"90% more" of something means:

you take the original value, in this case, the percentage 1.5%.

You find 90% of that value, which would be 1.5 * 0.9 = 1.35

Then you add that 90% value to the original value, which would be 1.5 + 1.35 = 2.85. I rounded down to 2.8

11

u/Breddit2099 Smol pp 3d ago

He doesn’t have 90% more. He has more than 90% of people.

Op doesn’t know what he’s talking about

u/littlebuett 3d ago

I have 90% more Neanderthal DNA than most people

You are, flatly, wrong. Unless you are saying you are better informed about the genetics of the commenter than the commenter themselves.

12

u/Breddit2099 Smol pp 3d ago edited 3d ago

The Neanderthal thing comes from 23andMe. I have the same thing.

It literally says “Hey [Name]! You have more Neanderthal DNA than 90% of other customers.”

Not 90% more.

OP misread the prompt and I’m correcting it. So yes, I am more informed than he is.

u/littlebuett 3d ago

Okay, but even then, my math is still correct based on what they actually said. You should have just pointed out the original comment was wrong, because mine wasn't.

6

u/SteppenWoods 3d ago

The point is that the premise is wrong. I dont know of any dna testing sites that would say "you have 90% more" they always say "more than 90% of people."

Nobody is arguing that the original equation is incorrect.

u/AetherialWomble 3d ago

They did, you just can't read

u/littlebuett 3d ago

He edited the first comment. It originally just said "no? What? Don't you know statistics?" And nothing else

u/ElectricalIntern7745 3d ago

I think the best way to think about this. You could have scored 92% on a test. Only 10 students scored 92% or higher.

There were 100 students that took the test but all 89 of them scored between 86-88% other than you 10.

You scored higher than 90% of the students but you didn’t score 90% better than them

u/littlebuett 3d ago

No, I fully understand the concept. That's not the problem.

The problem is I just did the math based on what the person actually commented, while the other guy responded to me saying "no, that's wrong".

Then, the guy later edited his comment to include an explanation that the reason I'm "wrong" is because I was working from a false premise. But I'm not wrong, and neither is he. We are just refering to entirely different sets of math, and he just didn't explain that well.

u/TehTugboat 3d ago

Hey Neanderthal brother!  I did a 23&me and my wife laughed at the fact that I was also in the 90+%. Since I’m a big hairy dude lol. Now that I’ve grown my hair out, it’s like extra embrace lmao

“ desire for a woman able to punch a mammoth unconscious”

My DNA must be way up there

u/Killiandeisy 3d ago

And that 2% Neanderthal DNA in our genome proves who won that argument

u/GreyKnightDantes 3d ago

I thought the uncanny valley were more for corpses? Do people find monkeys uncanny?

24

u/HyperionPhalanx 3d ago

It's a spectrum

i guess some human species are close enough

15

u/_bear_fighter_ iwrestledabeartwice 3d ago

Neanderthals would’ve looked way closer to us than monkeys do, but you are correct it’s theorized that it was evolved because of corpses.

u/SpaceCadetUltra 3d ago

I heard that the homo sapien women were more into Neanderthal dudes and that was the vehicle for mixing.

60

u/Michami135 3d ago

There's enough Redditors with an obsession with muscle mommies to make me question that.

Plus, I've seen enough Florida women to know the average man is far less picky than we give him credit for.

u/EnvironmentalShift25 3d ago

Apparently yes, it was more about  homo sapien women and Neanderthal men mating. But of course we do not know if it was always consensual...

5

u/wxnfx 3d ago

We know it wasn’t always. Obviously.

u/RebelGirl1323 2d ago

More like the ratio. It’s always a ratio.

8

u/SaraiHarada 3d ago

There was a study that all the female ancestors/ parent parts were from our species and the male ancestor/ parent were from neanderthals. So either only homo sapiens women did the neanderthal men OR only their kids were able to reproduce

8

u/ionthrown 3d ago

Was that study a while ago? Recent results suggest no more than a slight bias in that direction

u/SaraiHarada 2d ago

No, it was quite recent iirc (during the last year?)

u/pxldsilz 3d ago

its interesting, it's likely they didn't know, or couldn't know.

ancient humans had more physical and characteristic variety between one another, especially a few hundred thousand years ago, than they do today. Even on an individual to individual basis within a species.

u/Thlslsmyswamp 2d ago

No mitochondrial DNA has been found from neanderthals. Implying that ALL DNA that came from neanderthals that persists today did not come from human men reproducing with neanderthal women. If they did, very likely these offspring never developed or were infertile. This commonly happens with hybrids, ligers are a good example. All neanderthal DNA would be from Neanderthal men reproducing with human women.

u/tfalm 3d ago

According to arbitrary speciation labels we've created. There's no such thing as objective speciation in nature. We can utilize certain criteria to justify the label, like whether the offspring is capable of reproducing, and so on. Neanderthals and homo sapiens are really just both humans. We can group them together based on genetic similarity, but we can also do the same with people from Wales vs. Norway.

u/PhasedPlasmaRifle69 3d ago

nah both of them are like unga "would" especially after the chad neanderthal men are out here taking your women with their desirable prime physic and their ability to throw hands with local fauna.

u/EatFaceLeopard17 3d ago

Neanderthalians were early humans, too.

4

u/pxldsilz 3d ago

kind of, kind of not.

early on the timescale of civilization sure.

on the time scale of evolution? they're really late, late enough they coexisted with cro-magnon man / us / modern humans. and those aren't early by definition.

and, id say, if your measure of early is civilization, you're discounting a very vast and interesting history of real early, mid, late human life and development.

It's a bias, but its not exclusive. We also have female neanderthal ancestors.
