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."

Never thought Ozzy would outlive the late great Ronnie James Dio. Pretty amazing really.
Ozzy is good, i like him.
Wow joe ya think?
So with that profound statement are you willing to say then all Germans Italians French Russians etc. derived from one ancient female?
Ok sorry Ozzy rocks(holding lighter in my hand)
LOL!
Well he's still doing better than those of us whose lineage skips Neanderthal and goes straight back to chimp.
Me? Uh – my ancestors jumped off a passing asteroid a few thousand years back...
Please dont insult the primates. These folks would make an ameoba cry
Reading these comments makes me 1.Thankful to have Jesus as my savior 2.realize i need to pray a lot more for sanity to be restored to humanity
So your going to pray to a delusion for sanity. Makes perfect sense.
@julie I think many people came from a large universal gas cloud. Translated a fart in the wind
I think the band Kansas wrote a song about that
MONKEYS? That is blasphemous. He came from Adam and Eve like everyone else.
Adam and eve were neanderthals. They were the first animals to achieve the ability ro reason. Thats why your fictional story book calls them the first humans.
@Thinker
Superb chioce of words. If they are going to preach while talking about Ozzy then they are really afraid that Ozzy will be the Anti-Christ... wait they already did that! Grow up Fabio!
@nat thanks for saving us all
Yeah a really hairy Adam & Eve with big bulging foreheads.
Yep lets all Thank Eve. Apple eatin beatch. That song was on Kansas greatest hits. I checked.
