The Neanderthal part left me speechless... So, we have access to their genome, don't we. That sounds pretty cool to me!
PS: I think there are more fancy words in your fields than in mine ;)

Their complete genome yes. It's not all that different from ours. But then we share 50% sequence homology with a banana so ... All life is surprisingly similar.
My field is specifically the study of enzyme function. All of the genetics is the level above me primarily :)
All of the fancy words, someone else gets to do those studies and reconstructions... :(
I guess what matters is not the common part but the difference, isn't it?
Correct
