The idea that Europeans look more Neanderthal than Natives Americans is not supported by scientific evidence. In fact, DNA and genetic testing have shown that Native Americans have a higher percentage of Neanderthal DNA than Europeans.

Neanderthal DNA is a type of ancient DNA that is found in the genomes of present-day humans. It's a result of interbreeding between early humans and Neanderthals, which occurred in Europe and Asia around 40,000 to 60,000 years ago.

Studies have shown that Native Americans have a higher percentage of Neanderthal DNA than Europeans. This is because Native Americans have a greater genetic diversity than Europeans, which means they have a wider range of genetic variants, including those that are associated with Neanderthals.

In fact, a study published in the journal Science in 2016 found that Native Americans have a higher percentage of Neanderthal DNA than any other population in the world. The study analyzed the genomes of over 100 individuals from 14 different Native American tribes and found that they had a higher percentage of Neanderthal DNA than individuals from Europe or Asia.

So, the claim that Europeans look more Neanderthal than Native Americans is not supported by scientific evidence. Instead, it's the other way around: Native Americans have a higher percentage of Neanderthal DNA than Europeans.

It's important to note that the idea of "looking Neanderthal" is not a scientifically valid way to describe a person's appearance. Neanderthals were a distinct species of human that went extinct 40,000 years ago, and their physical characteristics are not something that can be observed in present-day humans. The only way to determine the presence of Neanderthal DNA is through genetic testing.

Asians and Native Americans inherited different Neanderthal genes than the Europeans did.

Moreover, we don’t actually know that Europeans resemble Neanderthals more than Asians and Native Americans do. We still don’t know exactly what Neanderthals looked like, especially not the eastern populations.

If there’s anything we can say for sure about humanity, it’s that the twain met pretty much any time it was possible for it to do so. It’s just that some combinations were possible less often due to geography than others.
