A new study finds that just seven percent of the genome, or all genes, of modern humans is special to that group. It suggests today’s humans are extremely similar genetically to their ancestors from tens of thousands of years ago.
The research appeared in the publication Science Advances.
“That’s a
pretty small percentage,” says Nathan Schaefer, a biologist, or life scientist, at the University of California, and a leader of the research.
“This kind of finding is why scientists are turning away from thinking that we humans are so
Just 7% of Human DNA Is Unique, Says Latest Large-scale Genetic Study
Among all the species of man that ever existed, Homo sapiens (modern man) is the sole survivor. But that doesn’t make us quite as special as we thought. A genetic study carried out by researchers at the University of California Santa Cruz (UC Santa Cruz) found that modern humans only possess a small fraction of fully unique human DNA. The vast majority of our collective genetic inheritance is something we shared with other species of ancient man, specifically our long extinct “cousins” the Neanderthals and the Denisovans.
So how much of human DNA belongs exclusively to us, and was never carried by any other human species? Just seven percent, the researchers responsible for this research explain in their
