I knew they could extract mtDNA from hair shafts - I guess this hair was pulled out by the roots and had follicles attached so they could get Y-DNA. Amazing it survived without picking up stray contamination. Still, it's quite mind-blowing to see how much was deduced from the samples.
As well as in Europe (Neanderthals) and Asia (Denisovans)... we're not a picky bunch.
I had seen that 23andme had a tool I guess thats what it called that would tell me if I had any Neanderthal DNA which from what they said I do. Than one night I was channel surfing and came across the last five minutes of a show which was all I needed. All I got from it was that there is "NO Neanderthal DNA in modern humans." It was on Discovery or History channel.

How old was the show? If it was two years old then that would explain it.
