Weekend Feature: Human Genome Reveals Entire Span of Species—From Near Extinction to Space Age
Stored inside your genome are clues to the history of humankind, including global migrations and population crashes, according to researchers who have analyzed DNA pioneer, Craig Venter’s publicly published DNA sequence, and those of 6 others, to reveal major milestones in human history.
The analysis suggests that descendants of the first humans to leave Africa shrunk to as few as 1,000 reproductively active individuals before rebounding. The study also suggests that, contrary to popular theories, these early humans continued to breed with sub-Saharan Africans until as recently as 20,000 years ago.
