Original Note:
This racist meme is of course nonsense. There are 60 people a year in the entire world born with a vestigial tail, not 25% of any group. ALL humans share DNA with the Rhesus monkey. Possibly all "non-whites" also share DNA with Neanderthals. https://www.webmd.com/baby/what-is-a-human-tail https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00634-3 https://www.livescience.com/1411-monkey-dna-points-common-human-ancestor.html https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/11/121106201124.htm https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/everyone-has-neanderthal-dna-in-their-genome-new-genetic-analysis-shows https://www.princeton.edu/news/2020/01/30/new-study-identifies-neanderthal-ancestry-african-populations-and-describes-its https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/more-neanderthal-dna-than-you-think https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/01/africans-carry-surprising-amount-neanderthal-dna https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(20)30059-3
