23andMe Neanderthal Ancestry Report

The new Neanderthal Ancestry report launched yesterday!

I had a lot of fun designing this new report for millions of our customers. It's been exciting to watch customers share their results online.

Big congrats to the ancestry product team for giving 23andMe customers new information about their Neanderthal DNA!

Background on it:

Scientists at 23andMe combined and analyzed data from 23andMe’s database of genotyped customers who have consented to participate in research through web-based surveys.

The team was then able to identify associations between Neanderthal DNA variants and human traits like the likelihood of sneezing after eating dark chocolate, sense of direction, mosquito bite frequency, body type, dandruff, or being naturally strong, among others.
