My Neanderthal Genes!

I was quietly minding my own business, and out of left field, an email update from 23andme.com arrived in my inbox relating to a genetics test I did ten years ago.

This new “Trait Report” had some wild and wonderful things. It stated: “Unibrow… Likely No Unibrow.” Thank heavens for that! Finally, my face and back waxing is starting to pay off. (Yes, impatience is my key trait), it stated that I was 98% Northwestern European, of that 49.9% is French and German. 37.8% is British and Irish, and the balance is marginal. EXCEPT for the Neanderthal genes!

The document reported that my percentage of Neanderthal Ancestry is higher than 90% of their clients! WOW!! I’m in the top 10% with cavemen attributes. That explains the deep-set eyes, thickened brow, and grunting excitement at barbeques! I instinctively felt a deep urge to kill something big, a wild beast, and spit-roast it over the coals. Pity I’m mostly eating veggies these days. Sigh! The pressure of boring healthy living!

If you want some real excitement, read my books available on my website nickywebber.com, and at Cambridge PaperPlus, Penny’s Bookstores, and Amazon worldwide. Subscribe to my NewsBlog to get the latest info, free stuff, and more crazy updates.
