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."

What the...is that English?!?
you're an idiot! are you even capable of actually spelling out your comment in full? i doubt it, if this is how you've gotten into the habit of writing. very sad.
I thought it was still up in the air whether or not anatomically modern humans commingled with Neanderthals. Guess not! I wonder how much of the population today has a little Neanderthal blood in them.
If white skin is a predominate trait, I guess there are a lot of us with neanderthal blood. That is one part of history that I was really interested in.

Uhhhh... please go back on your meds Ted!!!!!
Ted....Ted.....are you in there Ted?????
Ozzie issued a statement, but no one has figured out what he said.
"A dude"- Perfect!
Funny he didn't mention Sweet Leaf. I guess he realizes that, unlike all the other drugs he mentioned, cannabis hasn't killed anyone.
well that explains his accent, and his daughters mongoloid sized head....
@Ted Wrong conversation, dude. The one you're looking for is just a quick leap off that ledge right over there. kthnx
come on man. the kid's only 7. You can't expect such an ignorant generation to understand good music.
Ozzy is awesome.
In other news, Ozzy is indestructable. The only thing that's going to be left when the world ends is him, possibly a couple roaches. Maybe Keith Richards.
This isn't a joke. Science was actually interested why he was still alive after all of the drug abuse. Look it up.
john's right. i read something about this, previously, too.
I am 33 and an ozzy lover too!!!
Ozzy is a true Rock n Roll Rebel. The drugs may have made him So Tired and Paranoid, but we all know he will be Flying High Again while he Barks at the Moon. It's a Miracle, Man, that he's still with us.
That is cute... haha. Rather witty my friend, gave me a chuckle.
Ozzy is god. Period.
now that explains quite alot!
