About this webinar
From the former Genographic Project, to 23andMe, autosomal DNA testing companies have added a feature to the DNA results they provide to their customers: what percentage of Neanderthal DNA you carry. This might sound like science fiction to some. How do scientist know what Neanderthal DNA looks like? How are they able to determine if I have any, and if I do, that it is exactly that and not just regular modern human DNA? What does it mean to me personally? This lecture will provide an explanation in understanding your genetic connection to your most distant, ancient ancestors.

I was glad to watch this. I had done a 23 test and have -2% Neanderthal but that is 91% more Neanderthal DNA than others customers tested. I had read that but really had no idea what it was telling me. This helps SO much. I have done my Mitochondrial DNA as well and my brother the Y test. So I found this very interesting. I missed it when it was live but I'm really glad to see it now. I was following along on my 23 test and saw I'm in the number 1 spot for those I'm connected too. So that opens As it is we've found no exact matches to my brothers Y. Seems Europe holds the answers for me. Thanks again!
Excellent webinar. I found Ugo to be a very fascinating and knowledgeable speaker. My interest in Neanderthal DNA has increased since I watched this webinar. I look forward to watching more webinars like this one.
Excellent webinar from start to finish, thanks very much,. I enjoyed it immensely
Well done, thank you!
great info. enjoyed the seminar
Wow -incredible presentation. I wasn’t sure whether I would enjoy and understand it, but it was fantastic. I’ve learned so much and will be telling my family all about what I’ve learned. The Neanderthal results on the accounts I manage will be more meaningful now. Kudos to Ugo!!
Loved it, learned more info about Neanderthals than ever before that I think I've ever retained.
That was fun and informative!
