All existing humans trace their origins back to Sudan… according to a !recent study
A recent study found that all humans alive today trace their common ancestry back to ancestors who lived in what is now modern-day Sudan.
The ancestors of humans, according to the study, go back more than a million years
Created the largest family tree from human genomes that includes 27 million ancestors
The study opens the way to predict genetic diseases and try to control them
A group of researchers at Oxford University's Big Data Institute has created the largest ever human family tree with an integrated map of genes that traces the origins of humanity now known to a region in Sudan.
And the lead author of the study, Dr. Anthony Wilder and Wons , says that these mentioned ancestors lived more than a million years ago.
This number is much greater than the scientific estimates of the age of man on Earth, which many have determined by only 250-300 thousand years, which means that our modern genes came from individuals who cannot be scientifically considered modern humans.
The study announced that with the use of 8 different databases worldwide, the researchers succeeded in creating a very large family tree that uses the genetic sequence of a person and compares it to another through the points of the genome, or what is known as the complete set of genetic information for a person that is present in the DNA.
Through this sequence, ancestral genes were reconstructed and used to form a wide network of relationships across 3,609 individual genome sequences from 215 populations and samples dating back to periods ranging from 1,000 to more than 100,000 years ago.
By entering these networks and sequences into databases and using a new method of clustering, AI algorithms have been able to somehow identify the location of the common ancestors of humans living now, explaining some patterns of genetic variation and the reasons for the difference between humans now.
This genetic network, which brought together nearly 27 million ancestors, aims not only to learn about the oldest place of life for human ancestors, but also to use it in the medical fields, specifically the effect of genetic factors on disease and an attempt to control it.
Despite the great contradiction between the results of this study and many beliefs, the study gained great importance in identifying the genetic sequence and knowing the way it evolved.
