Is there any research about why Sub-Saharan Africa doesn't have Neanderthal DNA?

Is the argument that the tribe of humans from Africa was good at repelling outside invaders, but themselves expanded outwards and assimilated (and then outnumbered) the other populations, or something else?

It just seems a bit bizarre given that all humans elsewhere have relatively similar amounts (but quite a low amount) of Neanderthal DNA, which seems to suggest a reasonable amount of migration, interaction and interbreeding between populations everywhere except Africa.



Yes tons of research

There were multiple waves out of Africa but Most early anatomical human groups never left Africa as a result, there’s more DNA diversity within the continent than outside Africa

Its confusing because the non-african group grew exponentially while the intra-African continent continued to mature

The anatomically modern humans that left Africa spread rapidly and aggressively across the world basically absorbing and destroying every proto-human group and ecological niche and

now the world is ruled by the aggressive narcissistic chimeral hybrid of human (African) Neanderthal (European proto human) and denisovian (Peking man) that survived the exit snd expansion

Wow, so many judgments and racist descriptions in one paragraph attempting to describe scientific knowledge.


Everything typed above has empirical basis

Feel free to investigate each claim independently and come to your own conclusions


It sounds like gp is saying non Africans are more narcissistic than Africans. So yeah that needs a citation (or clarification)


You might want to read about the Chadian introgression for the exception.


Why was this downvoted?
