We’re all human: Scientists create world’s biggest family tree linking 27 million people
OXFORD, United Kingdom — The world’s biggest family tree linking around 27 million people has been created by scientists. The genetic model combines thousands of modern and prehistoric genomes, providing new insight into key events in human history.
The breakthrough is a major step towards mapping the entirety of human relationships, with a single lineage that traces the ancestry of all people on Earth. The family tree also has widespread implications for medical research, identifying genetic predictors of disease.
“We have basically built a huge family tree, a genealogy for all of humanity that models as exactly as we can the history that generated all the genetic variation we find in humans today. This genealogy allows us to see how every person’s genetic sequence relates to every other, along all the points of the genome,” says principal author Dr. Yan Wong in a university release.
The University of Oxford team combed through eight databases containing 3,609 different genome sequences from 215 populations. They included samples from across the world; some being over 100,000 years-old. The resulting network contained almost 27 million ancestors and 231 million ancestral lineages.

LOL!
Mr Simian?
Good one!
There is only one race, The Human Race.
Thanks martin_fierro.
It explains the hostility.
You try to have the whole family over for Thanksgiving, just try. ;^)
Somebody really, really needs to teach the racists in BLM and other hate groups on all sides that all humans have interbred and are related for tens of 1000’s of years, like it or not-we are all the same except for variations in color, size, facial features and ethnic origin-which is really just geography-God created us all...
