   That is known to be wrong because most of the Neanderthal DNA did not   
   make it into Africa.  Only the parts that look like they came from   
   Africa around 250,000 years ago.  The bits of African DNA in Neanderthal   
   still have equivalent bits (just with 250,000 years of additional   
   changes) in the African population.  They do not have the majority of   
   Neanderthal DNA that would have also made the trip back to Africa.
