I'm 2.3% Neanderthal.

We're not extinct. We merged.



Another aspect, is theres no telling how much that 2.3% matters. Not all strands of DNA have the same effect on how someone turns out


2.3% doesn't reflect what i'd call a merge..


So do you only merge your code when you've edited more then 50% of your lines?


Unless neanderthals were 2.3% of the population at the time they merged.

or, the populations were 50/50 and the humans were like, "let's bone the hottest 95.6% of neanderthals and kill the rest"


Other way round


I originally wrote the joke the other way round. When I switched the order I forgot to change the number back.

That's all for today's episode of Inside the Joke
