That's exactly right, longnshort. en.wikipedia.org excerpt: A draft sequence publication by the Neanderthal Genome Project in May 2010 indicates that Neanderthals share more genetic lineages with Non-African populations than with African populations. According to the study, this scenario is best explained by gene flow from Neanderthals to modern humans after humans emerged from Africa. An estimated 1 to 4 percent of the DNA in Europeans and Asians (i.e. French, Chinese and Papua probands) is non-modern, and shared with ancient Neanderthal DNA rather than with Sub-Saharan Africans (i.e. Yoruba and San probands). Though less parsimonious than gene flow, ancient sub-structure in Africa, could account for the higher levels of Neanderthal lineages detected in Eurasians. If the African population from which Eurasians emerged from was already genetically closer to Neanderthals than other Africans, then non-Africans today would be more closely related to Neanderthals than Africans.
