The study tries to claim that the East Asians have a higher neanderthal component than Caucasians. I suspect that since DNA analysis is so new that this is wrongheaded. I mean, since Neanderthals have been shown to be Caucasoid re pale skin/red hair, then  a higher neanderthal component would presumably have made Orientals all light-skinned, which simply did not happen.
