Researchers have used genetics to create the largest human family tree ever made, allowing individuals to find out who their distant ancestors were and where they lived, as well as exactly how they are related to everyone alive today.
Researchers from the University of Oxford's Big Data Institute have taken a major step towards mapping the entirety of genetic relationships among humans: a single genealogy that traces the ancestry of all of us. The study has been published in.
In a major step towards mapping the entirety of genetic relationships among humans, scientists have created the largest human family tree ever made, allowing people to find out who their distant ancestors were.
The research, carried out by scientists from the University of Oxford’s Big Data Institute, has compiled human genomes from a variety of sources both ancient and modern DNA to better understand human history and evolution.
