In the last two decades, we have seen significant advancements in genetic research. It raises the possibility of back-tracing the origin of the human race and producing a map of individuals related to each other.
A new method used by researchers of data institutes can combine genetic data from sources and use it to scale millions of gene sequences.
Many evolutionary geneticists claim that they built genealogy humanity that models the history of all the generated genetic variation found in humans today. Such genealogy allows researchers to evaluate a person's genetic sequence and relate it to other individuals.
Essentially, researchers are reconstructing the genes of human ancestors to use them for calculating a network of relationships. It helps us to estimate the time-circa and whereabouts of these ancestors. The approach is can also add both current and ancient human DNA samples.
The study compiled the data on current and ancient human genes from different databases. The ancient genes samples globally have an age range of 0.1 million years. It correctly predicted the whereabouts of our ancestors. They must have lived on evolutionary trees. Thus, resulting in a network containing more than 27 million ancestors.
After finding the location of these gene samples, the results recaptured the events of our evolutionary history. It also included the migration of humans out of Africa.
