Ghosts in Our DNA: Scientists Discover Traces of Two Unknown Ancestors in the Modern Human Genome
🧬 **A new chapter in the history of evolution**: Scientists from UC Berkeley have discovered traces of two unknown ancestors living 800,000 and 1.8 million years ago in the DNA of modern humans.
The new TRACE method allowed these "ghost" genes to be found without using fossils. It turns out we carry the legacy not only of Neanderthals but also of other archaic groups that helped us survive. 🧬🌍
