Ozzy Osbourne on genome testing, Neanderthal lineage
In July, rocker Ozzy Osbourne became one of few to submit his blood to have his full genome sequenced and analyzed.
The results are in, and it turns out his genome reveals some Neanderthal lineage, according to Scientific American.
Osbourne and his wife, Sharon, are expected to discuss the testing and its results Friday at the TEDMED 2010 scientific conference in San Diego, California.
In a Sunday Times of London column (registration required), the former Black Sabbath front man said he was reluctant to submitting to the test at first. He eventually gave in to his curiosity over how he had managed to survive years of hard living and substance abuse.
"Given the swimming pools of booze I've guzzled over the years—not to mention all of the cocaine, morphine, sleeping pills, cough syrup, LSD, Rohypnol... there's really no plausible medical reason why I should still be alive," he wrote.
"Maybe my DNA could say why."

STUPID!
What part are you calling stupid?
"Stupid" eh?
Well kid, I'm 72 and yes I still listen to ozzy's music on ocassion when I need to rock!
Ozzy is a funny guy.. If you read his book. "I am Ozzy", you will laugh. I never laughed so hard. It's amazing Sharon put up with him so long, but then again.. She is a little crazy too..
no need to be so hard on yourself
so does ozzy use geico?
" Crazy Train "....Keep on NeanderthalROCKN!
Which one is your picture, Ozzy? 🙂
I.AM.NEANDERTHAL.MAN!
Is this living proof that evolution can go backwards? Jk, dont get to use that one often!
You are crazy for that OZZY but I still love you
Im Jeff. Im 56, and I like Ozzie. Ozzie is cooler than ever. Jeff
I'm Tommy, I'm 7. I think Ozzie is stupid and childish. Maybe when I grow up I will be smart enough to understand why some adults think he's cool.
I'm 34, and I love Ozzy and Sharon!
Well Tommy, someday when you're all grown up your own kids will make fun of the music your generation listens to today. It's just the way of things. As for Ozzy, I met him once (in a supermarket of all places) and my impression was that of a friendly and genuine person.
I'm 37, and Crazy Train is still a bada** tune.
i don't actually like Sharon much. Until she came along I didn't know that they had trailers in england too...
Hi. I'm Calvin. I'm 86 years old. I used to change Ozzie's diapers.
Well Tommy, I'm 41 1/2 and it's time for you to watch Barney and have a bowl of Jello.
"actually its time to have some Barney and watch a bowl of Jello" – Ozzie
Hi, I'm Dr. Liptsvitch and I'm over 9000 years old and you can too! Also, Ozzy rocks pretty good my home country of Bulgaria.
Well Tommy, I'm 16. go shove Kidz Bob up your a**. you cannot even begin to fathom Ozzy's amplitude of awesomeness.
Ozzy rocks. He did his thing. He lived to tell about it, and he admitted that a lot of what he did was a big mistake. Live hard, or die trying. At least the man has really lived.
Tommy suck it! Ozzy was changed peoples lives! I'm 18 and as far as I am concerned everyone who is 30+ grew up living to the some of the best music ever. the genre deffersity that is out there today wouldn't exsist it wasn't for the bands that started popping up in the 60's qand 70's through rtight up to today. most of the top chart pop, rap and everything else used a song from the golden age of rock n' roll.
The object of life is not to arrive at the grave in a well preserved body, but instead to slide in sideways, completely used up, shouting "That was a helluva ride!"
Way to go Tommy! lol
are you changing names to cheer yourself on? or are there really that many dullards reading CNN?
I just knew he was a caveman!
he's living proof that it really is so easy..even a cave man can do it.
So if Ozzy has Neanderthal, who else does? What benefits/problems does this give someone living today? If this is true I guess we know what happened to Neanderthall. They just became heavy metal singers.
That's pretty cool, actually.
I like Ozzy. He can laugh at himself which is a good trait.
And seriously, how IS he still alive?
No duh he has Neanderthal in his lineage. There was an article on CNN a few months ago. ALL Caucasians have Neanderthal in them. It was discovered that one of the expressions of the gene is white skin. Way to go on your reporting skills. Next newsflash, America was actually inhabited by many millions of people when it was "discovered" by Columbus.
My God...this explains everything.
The cave men from the Geico have denied it.
Don't you think Ozzie is savvy enough to sell it to Geico and be in one of those commercials giving those Cavemen a run for their money?
He loves her
How is he still alive? Hmmm really? He is the Prince of Darkness, he is imortal. He sold his sole for rock n roll remember, the wizard, the master of the universe, duh...
Lol Ozzie Rocks
Huh... I had no idea Ozzie ever sold fish....
Bill, that was fantastic. You beat me to the fish joke...
But in all honesty, I like Ozzy and Sharron a lot. And I'm curious as to how Ozzy is still alive. The Neanderthal thing wouldn't explain it because, like someone else mentioned, it was discovered that most Caucasian people have that gene in them. And boy, I know a lot of white folk who died from a lot less drug usage... And no, he is not immortal...
He sold his shoe?
We must gather shoes together!
Shoes For Industry!
Forget the shoe! Follow the gourd!
