Since the mating took place after leaving Africa, indigenous Africans don’t have much Neanderthal. Neanderthal DNA is responsible for traits such as freckles, allergies & even fertility trouble, so it’s useful to have this info (most Caucasian people are between 1-4% Neanderthal).-Also a better VALUE than Ancestry DNA, whose users have to pay a monthly fee to access relatives.
