If I'm not mistaken, all Caucasian people and many Asians have 2 to 6 percent Neanderthal DNA.

Those are more basal populations with more admixture, i think the present distribution of their genes is lower than expected when compared with those populations because most of those hybrid populations were assimilated by incoming waves of migration of sapiens from outside Europe with no or little admixture.
