Neanderthal DNA, fact.
Why are Norther Asians, who carry both Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA have a higher average IQ than European whites, because of hybridization.
Northern Asians are those that became the Chinese, Japanese, and those who crossed the land bridge and became the first non native Americans.
Who carries the least amounts of Neanderthal DNA?
Africans, who never left Africa, and never hybridized with the tribes from the North.
Neanderthal DNA is known to affect those who contain with known issues, male pattern baldness, diabetes, depression, and we also received some genetic benefits from that interbreeding as well.
We are NOT one human race, we are derived from multiple different hominids that were NOT homo sapien, if you ignore that, you are a FOOL.
Here you go.

Among the individuals in the 1000 Genomes Project, the Neanderthal-derived haplotypes are almost completely absent from Africa, consistent with the idea that gene flow from Neanderthals into African populations was limited and probably indirect20. The Neanderthal core haplotype occurs in south Asia at an allele frequency of 30%, in Europe at an allele frequency of 8%, among admixed Americans with an allele frequency of 4% and at lower allele frequencies in east Asia23 (Fig. 3). In terms of carrier frequencies, we find that 50% of people in South Asia carry at least one copy of the risk haplotype, whereas 16% of people in Europe and 9% of admixed American individuals carry at least one copy of the risk haplotype. The highest carrier frequency occurs in Bangladesh, where more than half the population (63%) carries at least one copy of the Neanderthal risk haplotype and 13% is homozygous for the haplotype. The Neanderthal haplotype may thus be a substantial contributor to COVID-19 risk in some populations in addition to other risk factors, including advanced age. In apparent agreement with this, individuals of Bangladeshi origin in the UK have an about two times higher risk of dying from COVID-19 than the general population24 (hazard ratio of 2.0, 95% confidence interval, 1.7–2.4).
