flag Scientists discover modern humans are a genetic mix of two ancient populations that split and then reunited.

flag Researchers at the University of Cambridge have found that modern humans likely resulted from a genetic mix between two ancient populations that separated around 1.5 million years ago and reunited about 300,000 years ago. flag One group contributed 80% and the other 20% of the genetic makeup of today's humans. flag This discovery, published in Nature Genetics, contradicts the previous belief that humans evolved from a single lineage and highlights the complexity of human origins.
