IF YOU are a hairy diabetic who smokes and suffers from stomach cramps, blame your Neanderthal ancestry.
Remnants of Neanderthal DNA in the genes of non-African modern humans are linked to a range of health problems, including Type 2 diabetes, Crohn?s disease, lupus and biliary cirrhosis, a study has shown.
They are also associated with smoking and thick hair, as well as tough skin and nails.
Between two per cent and four per cent of the genome, or genetic code map, of Europeans and Asians is believed to be a legacy of interbreeding between ancient Homo sapiens and Neanderthals.
