Autism & Mental Illness linked to Neanderthal DNA

[IberoTarasco]

Mental Illness & Autism is known for being more common in people of Northern European descent, the reason is due to Neanderthal DNA, Northern Europeans have the highest amount of Neanderthal DNA within Homo sapiens, the crossing of Proto-Caucasoids & Neanderthals, which created the Cro-Magnid, created a mutation which lead to many people of Northern European Cro-Magnon ancestry having Psychological issues, according to FamilyTreeDNA, I'm a quarter Northern European (from the Celts in Spain), & I have Bipolar Disorder & Asperger's Syndrome, & I have noticed that here in California, it's more common in people with Northern European ancestry.

I dunno, I take this with a grain of salt. If it was linked to Neanderthal DNA then people of African descent wouldn’t have these problems, but they do.

I dont believe that because for example mental illness is more widely found in African nations (by rate) than even in places like Colombia
and austism is found in all nations of then world, I dont believe any of those are linked to neanderthal at all
