Re: Human , Neandertal, and chimp dna
I may be wrong in how I would interpret this.
The comparison with chimps is comparing all the nucleotides in the entire genome including all the non-coding portions.
The comparisons with Neanderthals and modern humans is comparing how many distinct alleles of the actual genes from Neanderthals are also found in modern humans. The numbers are increasing as more Neanderthals and humans are sequenced and more similarities are discovered.
ABE: I would bet Taq can explain this.

One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie

If evolution is shown to be false, it will be at the hands of things that are true, not made up. --percy

The reason that we have the scientific method is because common sense isn't reliable. -- Taq
