User: How can I find out if I have Neanderthal genes?
Assistant: While Neanderthal ancestors are commonly found in many modern human genetic lineages, the human gene pool began a rapid mixing process almost 40,000 years ago. Ample genetic testing has established that nearly all of us today have a Neanderthal ancestry from interbreeding, but at this date it would not be possible to determine the exact proportion of Neanderthal genes among the human gene pool. While there is a wide range of estimates of the genetic contribution from Neanderthals to modern humans, with values from 1-4% on average, as of today a direct measure of Neanderthal ancestry is not practical. However, you can learn more about yourself and other people's Neanderthal ancestry in my earlier blog post here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.google.com/amp/s/about.google/company/what-about-neanderthal-genes/amp/
