Maybe. Maybe it's my neanderthal genes that sing at the thought of wrestling some big-boned, ginger cavewoman?

Are there any people left with neanderthal ancestry? I knew a guy in highschool who definitely looked like one.

When I did my DNA test/report, it claimed to tell you what percentage of neanderthal DNA you have/where you stand relative to others, but I'm not sure how valid that stuff is.

Well, did you have any?

According to 23andMe:

You inherited a small amount of DNA from your Neanderthal ancestors. Out of the 7,462 variants we tested, we found 243 variants in your DNA that trace back to the Neanderthals.

All together, your Neanderthal ancestry accounts for less than ~2 percent of your DNA.
