Re: "it is ?i read recently that whites have some Neanderthal DNA and blacks don't."

An early stage THEORY still (and a minority one at that) but there might be some (small) gene flow through from Neanderthal to homo sapiens sapiens. Entirely possible but very early days yet.

Zero evidence for it in any maternal lines though, even the supporters of this theory say.

(And the primary evidence supplied to support some small Neanderthal gene flow through to Europeans seems to be a supposition from a slightly higher incidence of microcephaly among various 'white' population groups....)

The argument that these particular few genes came from Neanderthals and not natural genetic drift is still widely disputed among the experts so... I'd mark this one down as a very early stage hypothesis, still a long way from being accepted. (Could possibly have some truth to it, or could be entirely false.)
