Reply to comment by powercow in When it's said 99.9% of human DNA is the same in all humans, is this referring to only coding DNA or both coding and non-coding DNA combined? by PeanutSalsa

Always wonder how that squares with Neanderthal interbreeding when Neanderthals mostly lived 130,000 to 40,000 years ago, right in the middle of 70,000.

Maybe Neanderthals hunted humans to the brink of extinction. Just like humans and vampires!

Nah. A giant race war is something humanity would never engage in…

Wait…
