2% ia not 'little'.
It's HUGE.
And it depends upon your source,
https://genographic.nationalgeographic.com/neanderthal/I'e seen the perdent is 2%-4% Neanderthal, closer to 3% on average. I'm 2.8% Neanderthal according to my genetic test. That's low. Average is 2.9%.
which us HUGE, considering we're 98% genetically identical to Chimps and Bonobos.
And not a word abut Denisovans, or Homo Sapiens Idaltu, the first Wise Man, who was an African.
Or Homo Hidelbergensis, who lived both in North Africxa and Europe long gefore us.
Or Cro Magnon. lll
"According to one theory, Neanderthals, Denisovans, and all modern humans are all descended from the ancient human Homo heidelbergensis. Between 500,000 to 600,000 years ago, an ancestral group of H. heidelbergensis left Africa and then split shortly after. One branch ventured northwestward into West Asia and Europe and became the Neanderthals. The other branch moved east, becoming Denisovans. By 250,000 years ago H. heidelbergensis in Africa had become Homo sapiens.: Nat Geo
