Ummm... do you feel 3% nicer than non-Neanderthal-DNA individuals?

And if so, could this in any way be related to Rainbow Dash's being 20% cooler?

On a more serious note, the earlier comment led me to do an iota of research, where I learned that anthropologists now think that Neanderthals were every bit as smart as Homo sapiens. Couldn't find anything related to niceness, however. No indications, for example, that Neanderthals would pay for the next Neanderthal's cup of Starbucks at the drive-thru window.

Oh my. Clearly it's time for me to get to bed here.
