Our human ancestors may have lost 98.7 percent of their population around 900,000 to 800,000 years ago, according to genetic research.

In a move that is garnering considerable criticism from the scientific community, a recent Virgin Galactic mission transported two ancient hominin fossils to the edge of space.
