Ozzy Osborne Has Neanderthal Lineage
For a long time we thought that Neandertals didn’t have any descendents today, but it turns out that Asians and Europeans have some evidence of Neandertal lineage — like a drop in the bucket. We found a little segment on Ozzy’s chromosome 10 that very likely traces back to a Neandertal forebearer. Ozzy, of course, was tickled to hear this. But Knome founder George Church’s genome has about three times as much Neandertal, which we thought was funny.
