almost every human being whose ancestors left Africa all those many years ago.

Those whose ancestors stayed in Africa, have no Neanderthal in their DNA.

Apparently, Neanderthals made their way east, and people in the far east, meaning China, have even more Neanderthal in their DNA than the rest of us.
