BB, Neander DNA is in all humans, Africans included. But it is a lot more complicated than that. I teach an entire semester on this topic so it is a lot more elaborate than what can be discussed here. However between the recent new fossil discoveries, the DNA data , the geologic, and the climate data, its clear that we have been around for a very long time doing really neat things.
I think its pretty cool that we figured out so much stuff all by ourselves. Drives me damn crazy to see those idots on the History Channel trying to tell folks that space aliens or supernatural beings taught us how to do anything. Its insulting.
